Do I need an extra cable to hook up 2.5" ide hdd to this?

Yes, you do. Here's what I bought to hook up a 3.5" IDE HDD: 1. Syba SD-ADA50016 IDE/SATA Converter Bi-directional IDE to SATA 2. Syba SY-CAB40007 Molex 4 Pin to 2x 15 Pin SATA Power Cable (5.5 Inches) 3. C&E CNE11445 SATA Data Cable. They appeared at the bottom of the order screen as an add-on. I didn't have the power cable or the data cable, so I bought them all together.

If you are referring to drive connectors then it has 6, you can use SATA drives but for 2.5" you'll need a tray adapter.

PS Amazon has the adapter for $15Sabrent USB 2.0 TO SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/-INCH Hard Drive Converter EC-AHDD

It came with a double sided adapter on mine which included IDE. Power supply failed immediately though.

Hi Dwzyne, You would need the SANOXY® 2.5" USB 2.0 SATA Hard Drive HDD Case Enclosure as the drive you are using is a SATA drive not an IDE drive

I believe your hard drive is 2.5 inch. Check the specification of the cable wether it is a ZIF type or PATA/etc.

I don't know for sure, but if it has a PCI-e slot available the chassis that you buy with it fits and I don't think an IDE adapter is necessary.

I didn't use any adapters because there are two mounting brackets for 2.5" hard disks. One is on the bottom of the case, and the other is on the back of the motherboard tray. I tried both and settled on the bottom one as it didn't require very long cables.

no additional cable is needed, simply connect to the port on your computer(cpu) and turn 1 USB port into 4, hope this helps.

No this unit connects to the motherboard with a internal usb connection. the IDE in the front is to connect older IED hard drives to it.

Plug the IDE Cable from Motherboard into the IDE connector on this unit, the SATA connector you must use only one of them - they are different one SATA is SATA [From Motherboard] to IDE the other is IDE to SATA [Drive]

Yes it does I even used it with a IDE 2.5 and 3.5 WD HDD to clone both WD HDD Sata's with the free software from WD to clone the HDD's, the only problem so far is the docking station died on me within 2yrs. They paid to ship it back to them and waiting to get it back now. Warranty expires in Jan 2013.

No. This cable requires your drive installed in a system running Windows. You need a USB to IDE/SATA adapter for that.

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.

The one shown here houses an IDE drive and it appears yours is an SATA The one in the link below will work.2.5-Inch USB 2.0 Aluminum External SATA Hard Drive Enclosure (Silver)

I have not physically tried to hook mine up that way, and the more I stare @ it, the more I think it's NOT possible. The reason is this plugs right in to the back of a SATA drive by itself, but it will NOT hook up to an IDE/PATA drive without a dbl ended adaptor. That goes for the power plug too. What you need is this: Generic IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE Adapter , which appears to work in both directions.Hope that makes sense :)

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection
