Fast and Highly recommended. - I used this with a SATA HDD to upgrade an IDE based audio recorder (Yamaha AW1600). It worked well with the two drives I tested. These were a Vertex 2 SATA II 60GB and a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB. Having tried two other SATA to IDE interfaces, this was the only one I found that worked properly in my particular scenario. The other interfaces I tried either did not work fully or were very slow. I have not done exhaustive testing but it does appear that this is a very good product. Review: Works fantastically well. - These are probably the better versions of this type of drive conversion for SATA drives into IDE cables. If piecing together a system with any value or stability requirement, I would stick with these. Perfect for things like modified original XBOX systems too. I will say that due to the design they may not suit all needs. There are alternative versions which plug in on the motherboard side instead of drive side. These have the advantage of not requiring IDE cables. I thought it worth mentioning as for some people this may be a better option, so look for these instead, however be aware that most of the ones which fix to the IDE plug on a motherboard take up the entire IDE channel, where as ones like this allow for the traditional dual drive with a master and slave drive. ## Features - Connect a SATA device, such as an SSD SATA drive, to an IDE/ATA motherboard or controller card - Complete hardware solution with no software required for seamless SATA to IDE conversion - SATA to IDE converter supports 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and SATA I/II/III (1.5/3/6Gbps) drives - Compliant with SATA revision 1.0 specifications for assured compatibility and supports SATA I/II/III (1.5/3/6Gbps) drives - Backed for 2 years, with free lifetetime technical assistance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EOJNGC2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 12,360 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 44 in SATA Cables | | Box Contents | 1 - IDE to SATA adapter 1 - LP4 Molex to SP4 Power Cable 1 - Instruction Manual | | Brand Name | StarTech | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connector Type | SATA | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,873) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | External Testing Certification | FCC, CE | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030852258 | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 2 x 2.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | IDE to SATA Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Model Number | IDE2SAT2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | standard | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030852258 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connector type:** SATA - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.6 x 2 x 2.3 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter - 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter (IDE2SAT2) - IDE to SATA Adapter (IDE2SAT2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J7B47osZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have an old ide media enclosure and want to know if anyone has successfully used the item 'sata drive' with an ide enclosure?** A: I have one of these installed in an old USB/FireWire enclosure. It works with SATA hard drives and DVD burners. **Q: Will the allow me to connect an lg gsa-h55n ide optical drive (drive end) to a sata port on a asus p5q pro motherboard, so i can disable ide controlle** A: If your motherboard has only IDE controllers, you may not be able to disable it, unless the MoBo offers this ability in the BIOS. Second, this little interface allows you to connect a SATA HDD via the StarTech adapter which you attach to the SATA HDD, then to a MoBo that has only IDE controllers using the original 40 pin IDE HDD cable connector. Unless others know better. Hope this helps. **Q: For those who used this on an original xbox, was it required to keep the ide power cable connected to the power adapter on the convertor?** A: Yes, the IDE2SAT2 requires the IDE power to be connected for both the adapter and the drive as the drive power plugs directly into the adapter. Matt, StarTech.com Support **Q: Does it work both ways? ide hard drive to sata motherboard, or will it only do sata hard drive to ide motherboard?** A: I believe that this adapter only works when connected to a SATA HDD when used used with an IDE source. It connects straight onto the SATA drive, then you connect the old IDE drive 40 pin single connector to the adapter. Haven't tried it any other way. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well.

You'll need an 80 pin cable to go along with it but then you should be able to use any drive - I went with a 1TB Kingston A400 SSD and it works great. Simple plug and play affair. The power cable is a bit long for this and you don't need the passthrough but it's nice to have. If I'm really that bothered I can just wire up or find a Molex to Berg cable if I really want to. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter, 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter, TAA - 24" 40-Pin 80-Wire Ultra ATA 2-Drive Ribbon Cable, Manhattan 332781, Model:, Electronic Store - StarTech.com LP4 to 2X LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M/F - LP4 Splitter - Molex Y Splitter - Molex Splitter (PYO2L) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50840548-startech-com-ide-to-sata-hard-drive-or-optical-drive](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50840548-startech-com-ide-to-sata-hard-drive-or-optical-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
