Will this work with HDDs?

Yes it does. I'm using one to connect a SATA Kingston solid state drive to my computer PATA (IDE) port.

It should! I found, however, that if you use this on a SATA drive to make it IDE compatible, this drive will be made the MASTER - there is no selection. The other IDE device on the same port must NOT be set to MASTER.

Although I used mine for a DVD Burner I can't see why it wouldn't work with a HD it just seems to be a simple converter/adapter. I'll be headed down that road soon myself and that's the path I intend to take. Let us know how you make out Dave.

Working with a WD5000AAKX Western Digital inside a Dell 4700. Looking at the device manager, it is running at UDMA-2. Older IDE drives usually run @ UDMA-5 on this model for comparison.

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

I don't believe so. It basically lets you connect a functional HD to a USB port on a PC.

Can't see why not. Works well with my Maxstor & Seagate sATA. Big problem with IDE drives -- don't fit. USB 2.0 only. Recommend you look at a USB 3.0 -- backwards compatible with 2.0.

Alex,The answer to your question is yes. Make sure both drives are the same size and same make, the drives must be identical.Earl

I doubt it. I am not able to make it work with very many drives. I have gotten it to work with 1 WD 320 drive, but almost all others I have tried it won't talk to or requires that I format them every time I try and use them.

I haven't tried that with it, but the connections are the same, so I would assume that it would work. I have only used it for hard drives. but it works for both sizes. I think it would work

I hope so. It works with 4TB Hitachi drives and older 1TB drives when in a USB-3 external drive case.

If it works with SATA/PATA/IDE drives of any kind, then yes it will. But be warned, make sure that you get one that's working properly and undefective, perferably a new one. Trust me, I got mine new and it works fine.

if you pull the external hard drive from its case it will work unless the internal hard drive uses an older PATA (EIDE) connector instead of SATA, anything from 2006 and above should have an SATA connector generally speaking.

Yes it will work. If using an external hard drive, you may have to format to enfat

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

It should work if you have a SATA drive. You need to correctly open and mount the drive into the enclosure and snap the enclosure closed.

It works with flash drives / USB sticks. HD use a lot of power to spin the drive. U may need additional pwr to get your HD to work. Other than that the device works as advertised. An SSD should have no problem and in fact a well made USB HD too.

I have not tried it, but it should be fine. It doesn't care what SATA drive you plug in really, it's up to the OS to figure that out anyway.

Hi JerryYes It will work if your cable connectors are compatible.If you have an SATA system, which I think you do, them make sure the Hard Drive is also SATA. Small connector no pins.Your other choice is PATA / IDE, so make sure the hard drive has the same connector configuration. The PATA has the long connector with a bunch of pins. 42 I think.You can buy both in the same hard drive.I hope this helped.Walk In PeaceDavid
