Post subject: | SATA converter for IDE HDD |
It really isnt something new, and for 3,5" IDE HDD there are quite some adapters available - if they only would work ..... For the 2,5" HDD I found 2 or 3 on the market, but they are made in a way that the 2,5" HDD cant be connected completely - and have a loose contact during operation. *** Finally I decided to find my own solution - and we have now perfect working adapters for 3,5" IDE HDD and let redesign adapters for the 2,5" IDE HDD - which now work also perfectly. For the 2,5" we offer it in a bay - to use the drive like 3,5" HDD for SATA ports. Here is the link for details: http://www.computerdoktor.at/besondere-hardware-2/2-5-sata-adapter-fur-ide-hd.shtml Again - just to be clear - its an adapter to connect (old) IDE HDD to SATA ports +++ |

What about putting a 2.5 sata drive into a pata laptop. I'd like to see an adapter like that which actually works. |

1st: You wont find an adapter which does fit into the drives bay of the laptop together with the 2,5" SATA hdd 2nd: There is a huge amount of adapters IDE (port) to SATA HDD on the market, but usually for 40pin PATA (IDE) cable to SATA connector. So you would need additionally an 3,5" to 2,5" adapter or this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/SATA-Female-to-4 ... 25629183a1 But allthough this adapter is small you wont get it into the laptop bay - and would need an extra cable to run the 2,5" SATA hdd externally. These 44pin cables respectively their connectors are lousy (i.e. bad conncection). Solution: There are CD-Rom bays available to connect a 2nd ide hdd into a laptop. Perhaps one can modify such a bay for SATA use .... I still have new ones on stock - got them for a biz which never realised.... Who needs them for postage + a million ? Just the question whether is worth it to invest time and money into an old laptop with ide port ....? +++ |
