Bought a Sabrent bay to access old drives but didn't realize it only supports SATA. Would this work to make an IDE drive plug in as a SATA?

It should as long as you have a means of supplying power to the adapter. I use these as an interface for IDE drives in my desktop PC where they are interfaced to the motherboard SATA ports with no issues. Both the adapter and the drive require a power connection in order to function. This adapter comes with a "Y" power connector - one end plugs into a power connector from the power supply. The remaining two ends plug into the hard drive and the adapter.

This adapter needs power from a computer power supply and is intended to be used inside a desktop computer case. You might be able to rig something, but I would say it's better to buy a USB hard drive adapter that supports IDE.

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

If you aren't using the old style 4-pin IDE connector, you can get an adapter that will convert it to a 15-pin SATA connector. I searched for "ide to sata power cable" on Amazon's site and found multiple options.

I don't use it for connect hard drive, but the voltage and ampers maybe working with it,, so there are another solution for connect hardrive. for example SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB Adapter Converter

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.

I bought two types of adapters. I did not use this one. I used the HDE SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter shown for $6.50. I used it to connect a SATA Optical DVD player to the IDE cable. It worked fine. I would expect it to work with a SATA SSD Go to http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B002Y2NI4M/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405960951&sr=1-2&keywords=HDE%C2%AE+SATA+to+IDE%2FIDE+Adapter&dpPl=1

This seems to require an SATA drive, so it won't work with the IDE drive that I had purchased.

It has an IDE connector. I would measure your old hard drive to make sure it will fit in this enclosure.

You need a SATA to USB converter with power. Something like: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Supply-Activity-EC-AHDD/dp/B00CPGYNV4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1383744478&sr=8-4&keywords=SATA+USB

There are Sata to IDE adapters, but you will not be able to use it in this enclosure as it only fits SATA drives.

The only thing that I can even think of is that you are trying to plug IDE drives into an SATA connector. I've had SATA I, II, and III drives in mine, no problems.

Worked fine on a SATA DVD drive to IDE port, not sure about a SATA hard drive but don't see why not.

Hi, It looks like an IDE Hard drive (it was a small picture I found) so yes it should work with this.

It should! I found, however, that if you use this on a SATA drive to make it IDE compatible, this drive will be made the MASTER - there is no selection. The other IDE device on the same port must NOT be set to MASTER.

This is for a SATA connection and will not fit the IDE. There is no room for an adapter inside the casing.

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.

If you are using the power adapter, connect the adapter 1st to power up the drive - When powered up, then connect the Sabrent IDE/Sata connector to the drive and your computer should respond by adding the drive to the system...
