I have a Toshiba MK6412MAT hard drive and I can't determine if it's SATA or not? ATA-4 Interface. Will this case work for this?? Thanks much.

I dont recommend this enclosure... It fails constantly. Look for another brand.
1066122
No it won't. The MK6412MAT uses a different interface this Vantec does. You will need something similar to the "Sabrent USB-IDE Hard Disk Drive Enclosure (SBT-ESU25)."

I have not had problems with my enclosure, but it will not work with your older ATA HDD. The enclosure is designed for a SATA connection.

I assume you are talking about the Master Slave Jumper Pins? If you are going to use the Hard Drive as a Master then make sure the Jumper is appropriate. The Pata/IDE Hard Drive should be standard and the adapter should fit. Have you considered cloning the IDE Drive to a Sata Drive? Hope this helps!!

No, it won't work. SATA is completely different and an adapter wouldn't fit in the housing unit. Just so you know the difference between SATA and ATA and IDE Google image search them. I recommend that you look for a housing unit that is IDE compatible. Since that's older technology you might find prices for housing units are cheaper.

SATA 3 should be backward compatible. I use this to clone SATA drives. Contact StarTech.com to be sure.

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

Hughes, sorry to hear that the product did not work for you. I ordered the same hard drive for my Toshiba which uses the IDE connector and it worked fine. In same laptops it is not easy to fit in the hard drive and align the pins properly but if your laptops uses IDE connectors, I am very positive that the product will work. As far as i know, the hard drive is either a SATA, PATA or IDE kind of technology. And if it IDE, that drive should be able to work. However, your situation may be different am not sure, but all i say mine is working fine. Otherwise you can also try to compare with the old one and see if there is a match. Thank you.

Yes, this worked for me in the same situation. But, the sata adapter must be in the master position like you're oriented. That's what I've read. I might have some advantage in that I'm using the superior 80 pin IDE/PATA cable instead of the standard 40 pin original version. The 80 pin cable is round & not like the flat wide type. Also, make sure your bios is the newest available so the PC has the most capability & recognition. Good luck!

Hi Jeffrey, This is a SATA divice with standard connectors, both Data and Power. If you have an older computer, i.e. IDE PATA, then it will NOT connect! If you are talking about mounting, then you will have to buy an adapter tray to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

Yes, this will work. It should work nomatter what - since it's SATA - which is a version reverse compatible protocol. There are different SATA versions, but any older protocol drive should work with any newer controller - just the way things are designed. That comment aside, which is general knowledge. I used this case for an old Seagate 7200.10 drive actually. I have an older (same series as yours) 500GB drive where the controller board on the enclosure stopped working. So, I bought this to replace the malfunctioning enclosure. Worked fine. It's a pretty nice little case, and the price is right. I'd say buy it. Yes, this will work.

I do not know. Tom's Hardware says that SATA III only mkea a difference with SDD drives. If that is tru you will not see any difference with a SATA II enclosure. SATA II enclosures are hard to find.

Looking up the specs for this workstation on line, it gives the hard drive spec as:Hard Disk Drives*Up to 60GB/ 7,200 RPM or 80GB/ 5,400 RPM, EIDE/ATA-1. There is no mention of SATA, only EIDE and ATA.The spec sheet is dated 2005. This is an old computer. I have a feeling that this is not workable, but I can't prove it.

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.

Correct terminology is essential. Now, instead of USB enclosure, give me the Nomenclature (Name, make, model number) of your computer. This gives me the specifications, thus, I can tell you if this Hard-drive fit. I am waiting!

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

You do know this is a SAS hard drive and not an SATA one. Well the truth is I had brought this one by mistake and had sent it back. So I really cannot give you an answer. Sorry.
