Says Hard drive interface Serial ATA is this a port? or is this because a hard drive can fit inside the case?

I don't know where you read this. There are four external ports: Headphone jack, Micro SD card receptacle, Micro HD port, and a Micro USB port. The W510-1422 has a 64gb SSD, but no external SATA port.

I'm not sure what you are asking. You plug it in to a normal power plug for power and connect to a computer via USB. Then you plug either a 3.5" sata internal drive or a 2.5" sata internal drive into the dock. the 3.5" drives normally are used by desktop computers and the smaller by laptop or notebook computers. They do have to be sata drives and NOT IDE which are pin drives. Hope this helps

NO. The interface SATA is incompatible with ATA in your desktop. I suggest you to buy a new computer, don't waste the money on this part.

Not sure... I had been trying to get some data off of the exact hard drive from a Seagate External HD and as a last resort for the girl, I had bought this to swap out boards. I wasn't successful but the drive I bought has been a good one. I stuck it in another build. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

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

This is a Seagate portable hard drive, with USB 3 Port. The unit is factory sealed. You would violate the warranty to open it for inspection, or otherwise. It is intended to be used only as it is manufactured and provided, via a USB cable to a notebook, or desktop PC. You need to investigate internal drives for dock support.G. Combs

This is a SATA to IDE/PATA adapter, so SATA drive into an IDE enclosure, yes, but the reverse doesn't seem to be possible since the SATA connector on this adapter is male, to fit into a SATA drive, with a female IDE connector... BUT ... If it was possible you would need at least an inch, or so, since the adapter is about 3/4 of an inch "wide" to the outside edge of either connector, then add more space for cable connectors, etc., so all-in-all I would say "no" and "not worth the time/trouble :( I would look at this "HDE SATA to IDE/IDE to SATA Drive Interface Adapter" maybe ... but space is an issue... good luck :)

You probably need an SATA external case. If your drive is not IDE, then this one will not connect. If your drive is over 500GB then this will also not work. I used it for an old 80GB IDE drive, and it worked perfectly.

Honestly, I'm not familiar with that type of drive. If I'm reading your description right, your drive is an 80gb SATA drive. The case is made to work with eithera SATA or IDE drive. As long as it is a 3.5 inch drive and matches that, you're good. If it's a 2.5 inch drive, you'll need a different case.

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.

This is just a hardware connector to plug your HDD to a USB port. So whatever else you want to do with the contents of the drive will have to be software driven.

This won't actually connect to a standard SATA port. You need specifically an MSata port to plug it into. If you have an open MSata port on your computer, this will almost certainly fit.This drive is actually much, much smaller than a standard laptop hard drive.

How old is the hard drive you're replacing? If it was pre-2005, chances are it's a PATA or IDE drive rather than a SATA type. Is the original connector a large black plastic thing with 40 holes in it (2 rows of 20)? If not, then it's a SATA set-up, requiring 2 connections (one for power and one for data). Just make sure you align the connectors carefully, (even though they won't click in if they're reversed).

Max supported size? Dimensionally, it fits every modern 3.5 inch drive I've tried. Gig/Terabyte wise, it doesn't care, the Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors pass through. If your drive will work without this dock, it should work with the dock.It's sort of like asking how fast a car can your garage handle. The garage doesn't care about speed, just if it will fit through the door.

No, the interface is different This one SATA. U have an IDE hdd (old school). So that being said look for an 3.5 IDE hard drive. i bought this one great product no issues:

You need the 2 ports to power the HDD. Depends on your hard drive model only one port may not be enough.

The good news is that the connector in side the dock is a standard SATA port. The bad news (for me) is that a full size desktop HD wont fit. I had to use Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply to connect my HD. Now I guess I look for a cheap laptop HD....Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.
