This IDE to SATA Drive Adapter Kit offers a simple way to install Serial ATA hard drives using an available IDE port - a cost-effective solution for using newer SATA drives on a legacy computer or a computer with all SATA connections already in use.

This dual channel bridge lets you connect two high-speed SATA drives without the cost and effort of upgrading your IDE (Parallel ATA) motherboard, while minimizing the space required for IDE cable connections - helping to improve airflow within the case which in turn helps to optimize system performance.

Plus, the IDE to SATA Drive Motherboard Adapter includes a power connector and SATA data cables, to ensure the upgrade to SATA is easy!


*PLEASE NOTE that SATA drives connected to the PATA2SATA2 IDE to SATA Drive Motherboard Adapter require the customary connection to the computer power supply. If the power supply does not provide the appropriate connection, the SATAPOWADAP 6" LP4 Male to Serial ATA Power Adapter will be required.
StarTech Advantage

* Provides the option to install SATA hard drives on a system that may only support IDE drive connections (e.g. legacy systems, etc.)

******WARNING, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION VERY CAREFULLY******

This will not work if you intend to use LIGHTSCRIBE technology supplied in your SATA drive, as it does not have that functionality.
It will however allow you to burn disks absolutely fine, thanks.
