I can't connect my SATA drives to this. What is the correct cable or adapter to use?

You have SATA cables that connect your HDD to the Mother board. Then you will have a 5 wire ribbon cable with multi drive plugs for the HDD's and the end plug will connect to your power supply. I hope this helps . . . Bob

It comes with two SATA cables with a total of 5 SATA connectors. If you can't connect your SATA drives you're missing a cable or two.

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

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.

Hello, I bought it some months ago.Just use the SATA cable and the power cable connected to your mother board and that's it.

Hi Ricardo, the cable is used to connect a SATA disk to your USB port. Jesus R.

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 depends on the sata port you are trying to use with the adapter. Mine did not work with an adapter (I have an old motherboard, apparently the on-board sata ports didn't like being used with an adapter), I got an esata card and it has been working great for nearly 2 years.

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

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 to connect 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.

The sata connection should be the same but you will need adapter to hold the 2.5 drive in place.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

In order for you to use this unit you will need a USB to IDE SATA Adapter that is available on Amazon. Com. I have one and it works great.

This is a SATA drive and your system uses IDE, I would suggest buying a SATA to IDE adapter

Plug the IDE Cable from Motherboard into the IDE connector on this unit, the SATA connector you must use only one of them - they are different one SATA is SATA [From Motherboard] to IDE the other is IDE to SATA [Drive]

You could connect it to the SATA port on a mainboard with an adapter cable, but I don't know what kind of thru put you would get. http://www.amazon.com/SATA-to-eSATA-Cable/dp/B003ENM5IA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385984735&sr=1-1&keywords=sata+to+esata+adapter

I, I believe that some of the SATA cable has the power connections built into them and some don't. If you have an power connector off to one side I would say it should work.

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.
