this would be a PATA drive to my knowledge. SATA has a small slot style connector instead of all the pins

Hi Jeffrey, This is a SATA divice with standard connectors, both Data and Power. If you have an older computer, i.e. IDE PATA, then it will NOT connect! If you are talking about mounting, then you will have to buy an adapter tray to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

It also comes with a molex (PATA) style connector. Just use a molex to SATA adapter to run the second drive. I am running two laptop drives off of it in my system.

So, it's a SATA. Thank you so much for replying -- it's very much appreciated...

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

Highly unlikely if you want it to fit physically but if you don't it is possible. I am assuming you want to replace an internal sata drive with a pata? I would suggest you just buy a used sata drive, there must be 100s of used ones for close to the same price as this adapter.

H: If your Laptop computer has PATA , it should work, but please be ware that you should look at the date manufactured on the drive, and also get information about the drive using a free software " SPECCY" -VERY IMPORTANT

This is a USB3 HUB (it only "extends" USB3, NOT provide it)AND it has nothing to do with SATA so you will never need an SATA cable.It will plug into an existing USB3 socket OR comes with a 19 pin cable toconnect to a Mother Board socket or add-in card.PS: The product description leaves a lot to be desired.More pictures would be a big plus.

Hi, yes it works, it can handle both PATA and SATA drives, inside the enclosure you will find one connector for each type of interface.

If you mean the SATA version support, it looks like it is Sata 3. The drives I have connected to this unit are showing 5.8Gb/s speeds.

I don't think it matters. From the PDF it looks like they're both sata connections. I think I picked the one that gave the hard drive the most room.

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

This is a msata ssd (mini sata) and I think you have a sata hard disk drive,but I recommend to buy a sata ssd drive please check first what you have . download speccy app install it and you can check your PC hardware

I am not sure, but I believe so.The 2.5" form factor is correct.I am less sure about this: the PATA (new version) interface of the enclosure is compatible with the ATA (older version) of the drive.For less than $5, I'd say go for it.

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

This drive uses a sata connector for data and power from your computer power source, must check if your pc power source has enough capacity
