Bi-Directional SATA IDE Adapter Converter
StarTech ID: PATA2SATA3
The PATA2SATA3 is a bi-directional SATA IDE adapter/converter that lets you connect a Serial ATA drive to a legacy IDE
port, or an IDE drive to a SATA motherboard port.
A cost-effective solution for upgrading existing IDE systems to support SATA hard drives or optical drives, the SATA/IDE
adapter eliminates the expense of having to purchase a controller card while saving the expansion slot that would be
required for card installation.
In addition to SATA hard drive installation, the adapter can be reversed in order to connect older IDE drives to a newer
SATA-enabled motherboard, making it easy to retrieve old files from a previous system.
Applications and Solutions
• Easily connect you old IDE drive to your new SATA motherboard
• Great for transferring data between IDE devices and Serial ATA hard drives
• Ideal for business and enterprises using a combination of IDE and Serial ATA hard drives
• Install a new SATA device (Optical Drive/Hard Drive) into your older IDE computer
