Just bought from you, as suggested from outside party, the Sabrent SATA HD Station. I actually need for one for PATA(older HD). Any suggestion please!

I believe the Sabrient USB to SATA/IDE would be compatible with the older 40 pin PATA IDE interface.

Didn't work for me. I have an IDE/PATA laptop hard drive and the pins don't match up.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have electrical schematics for these items. You should be able to operate it with a standard Sata cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

It is not SATA technology. It is PATA or EIDE. I bought this for my older computer that still works great but these drives are no longer available in local stores.

The Hong Kong Seller is very slick in getting rid of their junk. In your case, you got the PATA to SATA, not the SATA to PATA adapter.You paid $1.20 while SATA to PATA costs $5.60.If I was wrong or that you could not figure out how to use the adapter, let me make sure that the 20 pins fit on the HHD and the other side with 39 pins fits on the IDE cable.If you have no 39 pins, you got the wrong adapter that fits a SATA to SATA of PATA to SATA.

Yes, no problem. I personally use a standard SATA drive through, I need the capacity. Works like a charm...

just look for a molex drive power splitter for IDE. or if you are using a SATA drive there are ones for that. they are pretty common place. look on amazon .. i know micro-center has them i got one yesterday.

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

you can connect blu-ray drive with sata port on motherboard with a Pata port, but as i can see the bandwidth is not enough to watch movies from BD.

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.

Yes, I did end up replacing our hard drive and it worked seamlessly! I got the WD 1TB sata II 7200 rpm 8 mb unit. (Wd10jpvt) It looks cheaper now too by about $30!I now have a lot more room and the laptop speed is back up to normal now. I also got the vantec nexstar tx 2.5 sata to usb external he enclosure and definitely nice! Well built and solid!

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.

My unit came with a power adapter and works fine with both IDE and SATA devices. I am very pleased with it's performance. Some people leave them connected permanently but I do not do this.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB. I put in 4 of those. Hooked up to RaspberryPi. Works beautifully.

That's exactly what I'm doing and why I bought this; however I am certainly no hardware guru. It takes a while for it to show upon explorer (4-5 secs), windows needs to read it, etc. I would go to the internet and find a forum that has a topic for hardware, giving them the model, intent, etc. Let me know what you find out. I am interested. My final goal it to set up a RAID, still need one more hard drive.

Hi Sarita. It will work perfectly with your hard disk . I actually connected Sata and Pata hard disk of large storage capacity and the enclosure worked pretty good.

The utility software? That can be found on the Adata web site. Shouldn't need anything else to make the drive work, as long as you have a SATA port available.
