Is this compatible with ATA (non-SATA) drives as well?

Yes, but as a warning it did fry the drive i hooked up to it. Most likely just the power supply.

Yes this is compatible with IDE(ATA), SATA, AND PATA. One caution, if the drive you are connecting to it, has a circuit problem, it may blow a component in the power supply, because the power supply is not fused. I blew a diode in one of mine; glad I bought a couple extra ones.

All SATA Drives are backward compatible. Go to for a summary: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii

Yes. They should all be backwards compatabile for SATA. I used with SATA III as well.

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

Yes, these are both SATA drives and have the same capacity, so it should work just fine.

SATA is backwards compatible so it should be fine. In fact, if you are replacing a plater drive it should be faster even with the 1.5 Gb/sec bottleneck.

Yes it supports sata3 drives. And it seems to deliver ridiculously fast speeds.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

Will this work with a sata drive bay? Does it need to connect directly to a motherboard?

No, this adapter is just the opposite of what you need. This will adapt a mSATA drive to a full SATA slot.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

Yes. All SATA standards are compatible with each other, but it is going to operate at SATA 1.0 speed. I guess if you're looking for capacity rather than speed, go for it.

It worked great on my 3.5 drives, both IDE and serial ATA. I don't have any 2.5 drives, so I can't answer to that.

All SATA is backward compatible AFAIK. I think that's why Seagate doesn't mention it in their specs. I've never had a problem -- I'm using two of these (3GB each) in a NAS that only supports 3gbs.

Although I am not sure what speed [P]ATA drive I used the device functions without any issues. The [P]ATA should automatically use a compatible speed. ATA is synonymous with PATA after SATA was created.

Mine has 4gb but I don't know if it is SATA or ATA. I'm fairly certain 4gb is the max. I'm good with software...not so much with hardware.

Yes it should work with all SATA and IDE drives up to 2 TB. Only some really old drives that don't support LBA might have issues.
