## Summary description

StarTech SATA to IDE adapter for 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives converts a SATA data (7-pin) and SATA power (15-pin) connection to legacy IDE interfaces: 40-pin (ATAPI/PATA) and 44-pin (laptop) plus LP4 power. Designed for use with HDD docks and drive enclosures, it enables access, cloning or data recovery from IDE drives using SATA hosts. Colour: black. Weight: 0.104 kg.

## Long description

The StarTech SATA to 2.5in/3.5in IDE adapter cable converts a SATA data (7-pin) and SATA power (15-pin) connection into legacy IDE interfaces so that 2.5" and 3.5" PATA/IDE hard drives can be used with SATA HDD docking stations, duplicators or SATA-only systems. The adapter supports both 40-pin (ATAPI/PATA) and 44-pin (laptop) IDE connectors and provides LP4 power compatibility for older drives. Constructed in black with an all-metal mounting interface, the adapter is designed for quick insertion and removal of IDE drives in SATA docks and for data access, cloning or recovery tasks.
Advantages
The adapter enables reuse of legacy IDE hard drives with modern SATA hosts without modifying the drives or the host device. Its mounting style secures the IDE drive for upright insertion into most SATA docking stations and duplicators, simplifying data retrieval and cloning workflows. The all-metal construction improves mechanical durability during repeated insertions. The compact, black design integrates unobtrusively with standard HDD docks and drive enclosures.
Suitable for
Accessing data from 2.5" and 3.5" IDE/PATA hard drives using a SATA HDD dock
Cloning or duplicating IDE drives with a SATA-based duplicator
Recovering files from legacy IDE drives in data-recovery workflows
Connecting IDE laptop drives (44-pin) or desktop drives (40-pin) to SATA-only desktops or enclosures
Key specifications
Interface conversion: SATA 7-pin (data) + SATA 15-pin (power) to IDE 40-pin (ATAPI/PATA) and 44-pin (laptop) plus LP4 power
Supported drive types: 2.5" and 3.5" IDE/PATA hard drives
Compatibility: Designed for use with SATA HDD docking stations and drive duplicators
Construction: metal mounting interface with cable assembly
Colour: black
Weight: 0.104 kg
How to use
Align and mount the adapter onto the IDE hard drive so the 40-pin or 44-pin connector engages securely with the drive's IDE header and the LP4 connector (if required) supplies power. Insert the assembled drive and adapter into a compatible SATA HDD dock or duplicator bay so the SATA 7-pin and SATA 15-pin connections mate with the dock. Power the dock and the SATA host will detect the IDE drive as if it were connected via a native SATA interface, allowing file access, cloning or recovery operations. When finished, power down the dock before removing the drive and adapter.
Usage recommendations
Use the adapter with compatible SATA HDD docking stations and duplicators from the same product family where possible. Ensure proper alignment when mounting to avoid bending pins, and always power off the docking station before inserting or removing the adapter and drive. For IDE drives that require LP4 power, connect the LP4 power lead; for drives that do not use LP4, ensure the SATA power connector provides the required supply.
