USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Adaptor

Filed in archive PC Hardware by Eric Hanson on July 10, 2006

Need external storage but don't want to pay the premium on those silly external enclosures (who needs drive protection anyway? Not me)? Do a lot of hard drive testing and want an easier way to switch hard drives in and out of your testing rig? This USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE adaptor might be the way for you to go. Built to accomidate both a SATA and an IDE drive at the same time (so you could really have two external drives if you want), the adapter includes a power pack so you can power up your drives without using a molex or SATA power cable from your case. Plug the other end of the adapter into a USB 2.0 port and voila! a 33.4 MB/Sec transfer rate is now yours. As the review on Atomic points out, though, once you've plugged in your new ghetto links

external drive be careful with how you handle it - quick movements, a lack of ventilation or any other exposure could easily destroy the drive (see, those external hard drive enclosures really DO have a point to them).
