IDE + SATA = USB

IDE SATA USB

IDE SATA USB

In my bargain bin I found some 3.5 inch harddrives. In fact I do not have a PC, but like a salvager I can not sell such gadgets too cheap to someone who does not use it with dignity. But having extra space for data backup is anyhow nice.

Moreover I do not have a external USB port to use them and I do not want screw and unscrew all the time.

Then I tried to find a cool adapter and I found one below 30 Euro!

With the Wintech adapter you can connect 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives as IDE or SATA. In the package are cables for SATA power and data connection as well as a power supplier for 3.5 drives. No driver is needed. Just plug and use.

During writing this I am doing a backup and the speed rocks continuous with a little bit more than 22 MB per second on a 3.5 inch Samsung 160 GB drive.
