IDE 44Pin to SATA adapter

This adapter converts a 2.5 inch IDE 44Pin hard drive or SSD to a SATA interface. It suits owners of legacy laptops or embedded systems who want to replace an ageing IDE drive with a modern SATA unit without changing the host controller.

Plug-and-play installation

No driver or external power supply is required; the board draws power from the host connector and operates at IDE 66, 100 or 133MB/s. The device is not hot-swappable, so the system must be powered down before connecting or removing a drive.

Upgrading legacy 2.5 inch IDE storage

Ideal for extending the life of older machines running DOS, Windows 98 through Vista, or Linux when a direct IDE replacement is unavailable. Not suitable for 3.5 inch drives, drives larger than 500GB, or environments that require hot-swap capability.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 44-pin IDE drive is recognised after connecting the adapter?

The system BIOS or operating system should list the 2.5-inch SATA drive at up to 500 GB without installing any driver.

What comes with the adapter and what else do I need?

Only the 44-pin IDE to SATA converter board is supplied; you must provide a 2.5-inch IDE drive and a SATA data cable.

Which IDE transfer modes does the board support for my drive?

It handles IDE 66, 100 and 133 MB/s modes, so any 2.5-inch IDE 44-pin drive within the 500 GB limit will operate at its native speed.
