Does it really support PATA? it's in the subject, but not mentioned anywhere in the description...

Stupid Me - I am running a PATA Samsung drive init right now. So yes it does both!

IDE Came before ATA and Parallel ATA - the connector has a double row pin arrangement the re should be no problem.

Yes, see this article that explains how IDE and PATA are essentially the same thing.http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/hardware-technology/difference-between-ide-and-pata/

"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.

Sorry, I have no idea if it does or not. My experience with the product is very different from Patrick's. It has worked fine for me for several years. I did, one time, have a disk get out of it's slot and I had to take it apart to fix it. Not a simple task. Also, be sure to keep an extra copy of the catalog in case it gets corrupted so you don't have to reenter all your disk info. This was caused by a disk hardware error for me...

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.

This uses a PATA cable native to 2.5"/laptop drives which carries power over the extra set of pins. There's 44 pins instead of just 40 on the interface. (This is *not* the master/slave setting pins). If you're trying to hook this up to a desktop, you'll need to get an 2.5" PATA to 3.5"/standard PATA adapter. These usually include a Molex plug for hooking in power. If it's going into an old laptop that has a PATA interface, you should already have all you need. Or, if it's going into a PATA to USB adapter (like an external drive enclosure), you should also be good to go.

Yes, it would support both, but not both simultaneously. You'd have to sync either one or the other.

I don't know for sure, but I am not aware of any included applications that provide that support.

If I remember correctly -- it does not include a support system. You have to buy that separately

There is no mention of it in the users guide. that's all i have to say about that.

When I have contacted them with issues, I was given advice, but was told it was no longer being supported (approximately September 2014). I was provided with no additional info in our email exchanges. So I can corroborate your info, but still nothing more on it.

I think so, but I am old school. I think PATA is what used to be called IDE so then the only issue is the digital speed not the rotation speed and what speed your motherboard can handle. some IDE HD's have a jumper that switches it from 100 to 150 or300mbs but if it doesn't work it will not hurt the HD or the MB to try. Or you can do one better maybe by getting a 250 GIG OR A 500 GIG SATA HD and get a little adabter board that will allow any SATA drive to work with a IDE motherboard or any PATA drive to work with any SATA MB. Amazom has them for around $2 or $3 or maybe $5 at most If your MB has at least 1 SATA connector you would not need the adapter or you can also if you have any unused PCI slots available get a PCI HD interface board with both SATA and PATA connections, maybe 2 PATA and 1 or 2 SATA connectors

I'm going to disagree with Robert Robinson. His link describes connecting an external hard drive via USB. This drive is an internal drive with an IDE/PATA interface. It may be possible to put this drive into an external enclosure that exposes a USB interface but I don't think that's what you're asking (and it would require an additional purchase of said enclosure).https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362The above link indicates that the PS3 uses a 2.5" internal SATA (Serial ATA) drive.

PATA standard uses 40 pins for communication. A device with 44 pins has 4 extra pins that act as "switches" to tell the device that it is a master, slave, cable select or other. On a laptop with one drive, no switches are usually needed. This drive should work if your laptop uses PATA (IDE) look it up on wikipedia for a picture of the pins. What I have run into with these drives is they are a bit thicker than a normal spinning HDD, maybe 1.5mm. Just don't force it. The older white version was a tad thinner but the new silver ones are the only ones I can find now. The current technology is SATA which is much faster and does not have the 40 pins or "switches" it resembles a USB or HDMI connector (IT'S NOT EITHER SO DONT TRY), you just plug and go. good luck and keep the packaging.

I'm not sure. It supports many languages. I did not see anything exactly like that, but similar.

No, but there is a lot of information and "how do I do xyz" type of support online at http://www.motifator.com/.

Not that i am aware of, if it is it doesn't say, and i haven't found a program that uses it.

in it's description it says that has support but I never used so I can't tell you for sure.
