Do you need an additional IDE cable for IDE drives? I don't see one pictured.

It came with a double sided adapter on mine which included IDE. Power supply failed immediately though.

I have no ide; I've only purchased it - I'm not the seller. You would need to ask the seller this question. Good luck.

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.

Well this is an IDE drive, which isn't carried in newer computers, I'd say from about 2006\2007 and onwards. You'll have to look inside your computer for an IDE port to see if this works.

as I understand this the IDE still gets connected to the regular power supply, I used a different IDE to SATA. hope this helps.(you do know the smaller slit of the SATA is power? try not connecting that and connect the IDE power as usual)

No. This is simply the adapter that they use to convert from regular ide to their connector in the laptop. I would recommend the following from adapter eforcity - this will cover all of your needs. Just copy and paste the following into amazon search bar. "eForCity USB 2.0 To SATA IDE 3.5 2.5 Hard Drive Adapter Cable" I have a couple of these and many others from same vendor with fast, excellent service.

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.

Karen; there are two SATA connectors on the board, one is for SATA to IDE drive, the other is for SATA drive to IDE, and yes there needs to be a power connection.

The product does not support legacy IDE drives. It does not have an adapter for the IDE ribbon cable or the input power requirements. If you are going to use this product for a drive from a lap-top you should be fine. If you are going to use this device for the drive in a legacy desk-top computer this may not be the product for you; it was not the product for me. To retrieve the data from my legacy IDE Drives, I used a friends "USB2.0 to IDE & SATA Cable with Power" that he purchased from Amazon previously.

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 :)

You'll also need a SATA DVD drive (assuming you're going to use one) as this is an SATA-only board, there are no IDE headers.

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

Is the hard drive a IDE hard drive or SATA hard drive? Is the Sabrent enclosure a IDE enclosure? When you plug the enclosure to the USB of your computer, does the LED light on the side of the enclosure light up? It will light up if the enclosure is receiving power from the computer USB port.Also, the USB cable that came with the enclosure has one single connector end and the other end has two connectors. Be sure to connect the single connector end to the enclosure. For the double connector end, connect the main connector to the USB port of your computer. The additional connector is for connecting to another USB port of your computer to give more power to the enclosure. Is the hard drive a IDE hard drive or SATA hard drive?

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.

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 adapter has the power cable and IDE cable sticking out of it. So, you will connect the IDE hard drive to those two and sit it in the adapter. Then, the adapter has SATA connections in the back that you can connect it to. But, no SATA cables come in the box. Hope that helps

This does connect IDE devices. just be careful of the power supply... I had issues with one getting really hot really quick.
