Small green PCB with 44-pin IDE male and SATA female connectors

YINGHUA

YINGHUA IDE 44pin 2.5 to SATA 1.5Gbps hard drive adapter

SKU CH-71JS-D8HGX

Converts 2.5-inch SATA drives to 44-pin IDE with 1.5 Gbps transfer speed

  • Connect 2.5-inch SATA drives to legacy 44-pin IDE ports
  • Achieve up to 1.5 Gbps transfer rates per ATA 1.0 spec
  • Plug directly into SATA drives with 7+15-pin female connector
  • Works driver-free on Windows 98 through 7 and Linux
  • Ultra-compact 69 mm × 14 mm board fits tight spaces

What it is

This YINGHUA adapter converts a 2.5 inch IDE 44-pin connection to a SATA 7+15-pin interface. It lets you attach a SATA hard drive or optical drive to a legacy 44-pin IDE header. The board measures 69mm by 14mm and requires no drivers for supported operating systems.

Practical limits

The adapter follows the Serial ATA 1.0 revision and tops out at 1.5 Gb/s or 150 MB/s transfer rate. It will not deliver the higher speeds of later SATA standards. The 44-pin IDE connector supplies power, so no separate power cable is needed for the SATA device.

Installation notes

The female SATA connector plugs directly onto the drive without extra cables, while the male 44-pin IDE plug inserts into the host socket. Compatibility covers DOS, Windows 98 through Windows 7, and Linux. Builders needing SATA 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s performance should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Which IDE connector size does this adapter use for 2.5-inch drives?

The adapter uses a 44-pin male IDE connector that plugs directly into a 2.5-inch IDE header on the motherboard or device.

What does the 1.5 Gb/s SATA transfer rate mean for actual drive speed?

The 1.5 Gb/s serial ATA link caps throughput at 150 MB/s, so any connected SATA drive will run at SATA I speeds even if the drive supports faster standards.

Which ATA specification revision does the adapter comply with?

The adapter complies with the serial ATA 1.0 specification revision and supports ATA-133 and ATA-100 parallel IDE modes.
