HARD DRIVE CONNECTION IS "SATA" O "PATA"?

Means that the harddrive will fit a SATA or a PATA plug-in inside your Computer. Most Newer computersuse a SATA type Hard-Drive.

The grammar in this question is so bad I'm not sure what is being asked. PATA is a parallel AT interface, while SATA is a serial AT interface. Both are IDE interfaces (integrated Drive electronics), meaning most of the electronics are in the drive, not on the motherboard. SATA is newer, and faster that PATA and is becoming more common. SATA cables are smaller that PATA cables because less circuits are required to move data serially rather than in parallel. Don't bend SATA cables in sharp 90 degree bends, or data loss may occur.

It is not Data because I put it in an older computer. Don't know if it is a Pata

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

Yes, PATA is an IDE drive. It actually stands for Parallel ATA. AT stands for Attachment. The C2G-30504 comes with a power supply that has an On-Off inline switch. This power supply will power up an external PC hard drive with the correct voltage to run the drive independently. The power supply has two types of connections. There is a 4 pin connector for the IDE/ATA/PATA drives along with a SATA power connector. Now moving on to the data connections: You have the USB adapter cable that you will plug into your PC. On the other end, you have three connector ports to choose from. You have two IDE ports, one on one side and one on the other. One side is for 5.25" drives and the other side is for 2.5" drives. The SATA drives can be plugged into the end of the adapter with the supplied 5.5" SATA cable. Once plugged in and running, you can retrieve the data on the external drive. As long as the drive is not damaged, you should be able to retrieve the data.

It is a standard SATA connector. I added an SSD to mine first thing. Warning: This will void the warranty.

You need to know if drive is SATA (small flat connection) or PATA ( large with many pins)This particular enclosure uses SATA connection. Hope this helps

NO. The interface SATA is incompatible with ATA in your desktop. I suggest you to buy a new computer, don't waste the money on this part.

The sata connectors will all be on a chain together, look on your hard drive and see the connector that is the largest slot? Find the cables that match the shape of the connector, remember don't force it too much, make sure you are inserting it the right way

Depends upon your OS. Most new OS can handle it. You also need a certain sort of connector to a motherboard that handles the SATA spec.

It appears to connect via USB 2.0. I do not know that it is either SATA or EIDE ... probably neither from what it says.

Correct. I swapped it in for the old HD using only the PATA cable, no power.

"Parallel ATA (PATA), originally AT Attachment, is an interface standard for the connection of storage devices such as hard disks, floppy drives, and optical disc drives in computers." Worked on my IDE drive with nothing else. Just plugged it in to the power and my computer and it powered up and was viable as another drive.

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to tell, but I've seen some websites which suggest that it uses a PATA (or IDE) drive rather than SATA. You should be able to pull out the drive and check to see if it has the pin connectors of a PATA disk drive. It's easy to do. Some Youtube videos can show you how if you need help ('how to replace the hard drive in the hp pavillion dv1000').

Dear Jen Unfortunately, I didn't use SATA Yet Because I don't have a Device with this plug. I only use USB 3.0, and my Operating System is Windows 8.1.

Double check if your system requires a sata or pata hard drive. Because I think this is a sata and most computers I've dealt with come pata standard. The difference will cost you about 15 bucks in a converter board.

One End you will connect to your working PC with the USB port. The other with the SATA. It should automatically find it.

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.

Roger, You driver is also known as IDE or EIDE or PATA. The Station only works with SATA drives. So the short answer is no, it is not.
