How do you hook this up? I have a SATA drive. With case open there are 2 plugs. One on a ribbon and the other a white plastic plug. Neither plug into

PS: I meant to also add that you should scroll down to Page 7 of 17 in the Sabrent PDF manual; the pics will show how to install the SATA drive using the port on the Sabrent HD enclosure. The old saying... a picture is worth a thousand words applies!! (<;

My SATA slipped into the enclosure and plugged into the SATA plug built into the case; I didn't use the one on the ribbon. I also had to use the four small silver screws to secure the hard drive in the enclosure. It's hard to describe in words but here are a couple of links for you: (1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3BqviSl0YU (this video is a bit long but it will take you through the complete installation process and (2) http://sabrent.com/product-manuals/EC-UEIS7_Manual.pdf (has some detailed instructions and close up pics of the different connections). I hope this will be of some help to you. Good luck!! My SATA slipped into the enclosure and plugged into the SATA plug built into the case; I didn't use the one on the ribbon.

Yes, If you can not find where to plug in to, you need to split power off of a existing power connection of A hard drive or CD/DVD - ROM drive,Splitter cables are available, match to drive closes to location of board. I do not know the physical lay out or what type of drives are in your machine. type of drives are IDE, SATA The connector used on this board is for 3.5 floppy so you may have to go from Hard drive power to floppy power.

Hey Jim be sure to pick up a couple 4 pin molex to sata adapters. You will need them to make extra sata conecters.

I just plugged 1ssd and one sata drive. I think two ports are hight speed but I dont remenber. whats the plan with that huge setup?

There's a panel that opens on the bottom - the HDD just slides in there and should plug right in. easy peasy!

There is a cable with a 20-pin connector that runs from those top ports on the case, and should connect to a USB 3.0 connector on your motherboard. For reference on a picture of a board similar to mine ( http://imgur.com/JjK6xGn ), you can see the green USB 3.0 connector just above the SATA ports on the right side of the board where the cable from the case would attach.

Hi Ricardo, the cable is used to connect a SATA disk to your USB port. Jesus R.

Unplug and replug the cable into the hard drive and the computer. There are many tiny connectors, and sometimes if the plug is even a little crooked it won't work. If that doesn't work, try it with another hard drive, to see if it's the adapter, or your drive. Also, if you are trying to use only one USB plug, use the one in the middle of the cord. The plug on the end is just for extra power (in case a single USB port doesn't have enough juice to power up the drive; I've never had to use it).

Yea should not be a problem at all, the new sata plug is a real small plug unlike the old ribbons that were flat and gray and had 40 or 80 wires. The stat just have four or six wires and are on a faster bus on the motherboard for much faster transfer, but yes your ok with that.

you need to get the SATA cable they are very cheap your unit should have come with one but they are only 2 or 3 dollars

If you are just plugging it into the SATA connector on the motherboard it does not matter. They are all the same, any open one will work. Just make sure that you are plugged into the correct connection on the adapter.

This board requires four 4-pin ATA plugs. The board comes with the four 4-pin ATA plugs. Make sure your have a power supply that will accommodate these plugs. I had to buy adaptors (about $2 each) to plug into the SATA plugs.

I have not physically tried to hook mine up that way, and the more I stare @ it, the more I think it's NOT possible. The reason is this plugs right in to the back of a SATA drive by itself, but it will NOT hook up to an IDE/PATA drive without a dbl ended adaptor. That goes for the power plug too. What you need is this: Generic IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE Adapter , which appears to work in both directions.Hope that makes sense :)

I assume you are talking about the Master Slave Jumper Pins? If you are going to use the Hard Drive as a Master then make sure the Jumper is appropriate. The Pata/IDE Hard Drive should be standard and the adapter should fit. Have you considered cloning the IDE Drive to a Sata Drive? Hope this helps!!

It's a standard SATA connector on a SATA III cable. If the drive has a SATA plug, then probably. A lot will depend on how the drive and mobo is mounted in the case. Sometimes you need 90 degree connectors and other times straight. Cable length is usually not an issue.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have electrical schematics for these items. You should be able to operate it with a standard Sata cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

It comes with a USB 3.0 adapter and cable. Does your old one support USB 3.0? The female connector is different than previous. The adapter aspect is more like I'm not computer literate but the L shape power and sata data input. Hope that helps
