What this adapter does

This Vszerda board converts a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a 44 pin IDE interface for laptops and mini computers. It draws power directly from the IDE connector so no extra cables or power supply are required. The adapter is not hot swappable and works without drivers on supported systems.

Capacity limit that matters

The converter works with all SATA drives up to 500GB and supports IDE transfer modes at 66, 100 and 133MB/s. Drives larger than 500GB are not supported by this board. Buyers who want more storage must choose a different solution.

Installation notes

The PCBA measures 69mm by 14mm by 17mm and plugs straight into the 44 pin IDE header. No drivers are needed for DOS, Windows 98 through Windows 7 or Linux. The unit is not hot swappable so the system must be powered off before connecting or removing the drive.

Questions about this item

Will a 500GB SATA drive run at full speed through the IDE 44pin interface?

The adapter supports IDE 66/100/133MB/s, so the drive will be limited to the IDE bus maximum of 133MB/s rather than its native SATA speed.

Does the 44pin IDE connector carry both data and power for the 2.5" drive?

Yes, the 44pin IDE connector supplies power to the SATA drive so no extra power cable or adapter is required.

What are the exact board dimensions for fitting inside a laptop bay?

The PCBA measures 69mm long, 14mm deep and 17mm high (2.72" x 0.55" x 0.69").
