Do the connection cables come with this item? I want to connect an old IDE and wonder if the adapter and power connector are included.

The adapter has the power cable and IDE cable sticking out of it. So, you will connect the IDE hard drive to those two and sit it in the adapter. Then, the adapter has SATA connections in the back that you can connect it to. But, no SATA cables come in the box. Hope that helps

No, it does not use a standard IDE or SATA connector. It is made to slide into the optical "bay" found in laptops.

Hi Erica, Mine came with software installed but NO adapter, so the software was basically useless. The computer itself however has been working great. Hope this helped you. Jeff

If by IDE you mean drives with the wide connector with 2 rows of pins (40 in total) which take a ribbon cable, then you are correct - this will not work with those.

It comes with the basic connectors. If you want a higher grade connection to your computer you would need that.

Mine did not come with power cable and adaptor. I had to purchase the power cable and adaptor separately. This is a clean system with Windows XP OS pre-installed, plus some office packages.

no sir, it doesn't come with the cables. You'll need separate SATA and SATA power cables for connection.

Your are correct, this Anker device does not work with IDE drives. There are 3 connectors: dc power, usb 3.0 micro B socket, and sata. No ide.

The power inserter by itself did not come with a power cable. At the same time I ordered the 4 port cable adapter that also came with a power inserter and the power cable/adapter. The description of the cable adapter did not specify that it came with the inserter, so I purchased one separately (and unnecessarily)

Depends on computer. Go to profile on computer an it will list what it is. IDE is to old interface SATA in newer.

Yes power supply adapter included. You have to supply your own cable from adapter to splitter though.

Product itself does not. I thought it did not work, then a website said attached drive must be set as master. I moved jumper on drive to make it master and the product worked. No documentation, jumpers or cables, but IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE "ports" are clearly marked. Don't forget to power 1) drive and 2) adapter (which uses a floppy drive power connection).

The IDE driver was a slave in a previous computer. tried to use it as a slave again but no success. This product does not come with anything, nada. No options to do anything. I heard that it may need some drivers but havent't looked for any yet.

I'm not sure. I got a new computer but there is only sata connector on motherboard so I wanted use this adapter to connect sata to IDE but it does not work with my computer.

No, the power adapter is for the IDE/laptop hard drives. I have recovered data from SATA drives without the adapter in place although I normally leave it connected for convenience sake.

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.
