My IDE HD has the same connectors as this... Is there a version that has female IDE connectors and male sata on the other end?

Check this out. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B0096BEJDI/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y I got this by mistake when I wanted the other. This is a board that sticks straight from the back of the hard drive, so space may be a problem.

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

Plug the IDE Cable from Motherboard into the IDE connector on this unit, the SATA connector you must use only one of them - they are different one SATA is SATA [From Motherboard] to IDE the other is IDE to SATA [Drive]

the unit has a sata connection, but i used an adapter, from ide to sata, which used a molix, and powered the unit.

I doubt it but maybe they manufacturer could give you a better answer. I used to connect a SATA HD to an old IDE computer. I worked great.

It has a standard IDE & Molex connector...if your power supply only has SATA you can buy the converters for about $5...I found them on newegg.com - if your motherboard doesn't have an IDE port, I'm sure you could find an IDE to SATA converter too.

If by IDE you mean drives with the wide connector with 2 rows of pins (40 in total) which take a ribbon cable, then you are correct - this will not work with those.

I have nothing to add to the other comments. I carelessly bought this housing for use with a SATA drive and found, after it came, that it is definitely only IDE. The only good or bad news is that it is so cheap it is not worth the cost and hassle of returning it. Who knows, I may turn up an IDE drive some day that I urgently need to plug in to a computer for some weird reason. It is a nice looking little box.

I've only seen a female connector (looks like small ethernet plug) on a Toshiba HDD, but it also had the standard SATA connectors which are male.

I think so, but I am old school. I think PATA is what used to be called IDE so then the only issue is the digital speed not the rotation speed and what speed your motherboard can handle. some IDE HD's have a jumper that switches it from 100 to 150 or300mbs but if it doesn't work it will not hurt the HD or the MB to try. Or you can do one better maybe by getting a 250 GIG OR A 500 GIG SATA HD and get a little adabter board that will allow any SATA drive to work with a IDE motherboard or any PATA drive to work with any SATA MB. Amazom has them for around $2 or $3 or maybe $5 at most If your MB has at least 1 SATA connector you would not need the adapter or you can also if you have any unused PCI slots available get a PCI HD interface board with both SATA and PATA connections, maybe 2 PATA and 1 or 2 SATA connectors

This is SATA to IDE/PATA. So SATA drive into an IDE enclosure, yes, but IDE to SATA, probably not. Not without a cable/adapter to reverse the gender of the SATA connector (male to female). The connector on this is male and so is the connector on SATA drives. You would need at about an inch, since the adapter is about 3/4 inch to the outside edge of the connectors, plus a little more space for cables. So maybe, if space allows. I did use this in a larger enclosure and an old XP box, so I could use a SATA drive in place of an old IDE. Works pretty good for those :)

It is supposed to work. You need to have enough room in your case to plug it straight into the motherboard. (At least 2 inches above motherboard clear, maybe 3.) Then you will have to play with the two sata connectors to figure out which is which. Read the other reviews on here about plugging the IDE portion in correctly. It is VERY VERY VERY easy to plug in wrong.

This device only works with SATA connections. Your IDE hard drive is not compatible with it. to my knowledge there is no adapter that can convert SATA connections to IDE and vis versa. Your best bet is to get an IDE external hard drive enclosure and connect your IDE hard drive to that. My recommendation is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145133 . I own this enclosure and it works great. ORconnect your IDE drive internally to your PC; meaning screw your hard drive into your hard drive cage inside your PC and then connect the hard drive to your mother board via an IDE cable, then connect the power cord to it.

The IDE side connects to an old IDE Hard drive for example and you can connect the other side (SATA) to a SATA CABLE and power cable.

the SATA connector plugs straight into the disk drive and provides the data and power connection for the SATA hard disk. The IDE side of the adapter functions just like the back end of an IDE drive. Plug in the 34 pin data ribbon cable and then the 4 pin molex power supply connector.

All ide hard drives ive known have been pins on the drive side and just doing a google for photos I found this quickly http://www.microcenter.com/understand_tech/article/harddrive_install.html showing drives I know. If yours is the female socket at the drive side this one wont work. I think ive seen other adapters thatd work but id have to search for it. Ive just always seen the male pins on the drives themselves. Sorry not much help.

The one shown here houses an IDE drive and it appears yours is an SATA The one in the link below will work.2.5-Inch USB 2.0 Aluminum External SATA Hard Drive Enclosure (Silver)
