do you also support IDE interface? I have 2 old SATA drives and 1 more older IDE hard drive

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.

No it does not. However, Amazon does sell a dual bay like these that does. However, it is USB 2.0, eSata, IDE, not USB 3.0. That's important because even eSata 2 is as fast as the drives connected to it, but USB 2.0, is an incredible bottle neck. If that same unit had USB 3.0, I wouldn't have purchased this item. The way it works, is it has an IDE plug on the side of it, which connects to a USB cable and the drive, and thus it doesn't sit in the toaster like SATA drives do.

No your machine is listed as using a SATA hard drive whereas this is an IDE hard drive.

I've never tried that but there is only a slot each for a 3.5" IDE, a 2.5"IDE or a SATA drive. The two IDE positions are on opposite sides of the device but share a power interface so only one IDE drive at a time would even have power. With the position of the SATA interface I'm sure it would even physically be possible to have two drives connected. Hope this helps!

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

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.

IDE and PATA are the same thing, so I don't understand why you'd want to use a SATA cable to connect two opposite-from-the-cable, but same drives. If it's because of looks, then just sleeve the IDE cables using split-loom tubing. If you still must, then you'd need TWO adapters, and not like this one. Also, all kinds of these adapters are very flaky. They work with some drives, and others they will not. There is no way of knowing unless you can find someone that's using your exact same drives. Among several variables, it's the chipset of the drive that usually determines this.

No not to my understanding your computer is iDE compatible. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/corporate/press/20050201cwd_M70.pdf

No. SATA only. However do a search on Amazon for IDE Docking Station and you'll find one.

It will work for SATA not IDE. Google images of SATA vs IDE and compare the pins (where HD connects to your computer) on the hard drive. You can see the diff there easily. Please give me a helpful vote on Amazon.

The power connector that went to the original IDE drive from power supply plugs into adapter, so no new cables are needed. Hope this helps.

I have this enclosure. IDE will not work with it. There are adapters on the market but they will not fit in this case. SATA drives slide in and when the door closes it presses them in tightly to make a secure connection. No room for adapters at all.

I have one running in an IBM T20. I is an IDE/PATA drive and works fine. Now the computer is not up to modern standards but it too is chugging along.

Lisa, a better approach may be to just buy another dock for your IDE drives and this dock for your SATA drives. I don't know how many bays you have open, but I have a mini-tower and find having both is very convenient. Also, if your use of IDE is infrequent, there are several kits where you can convert IDE to USB and just plug your IDE drive in that way. Those kits are cheap too, $10-$15. I have this ICY DOCK you are looking at, and I love it as I do a lot of disk swapping. Good luck.

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.

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)

I haven't had any issues. I purchased it to transfer files from a legacy HDD to a new SATA one and the new MB didn't support IDE. It worked without a problem in Windows XP and now is being used for the CD-ROM.

That super drive goes to a older mac pata ide interface it looks like a power book super drive you need a sata interface super drive not a pata ide interface
