I have an optical drive from a laptop that has PATA or a JAE 50 connecter will this still work with it since the title says its a PATA?

It should if the pins line up, I used it on both the hard drive from my laptop and a cd rom from a desktop and they worked fine.

I agree with the other answers. They all say that it will work and mentioned the 3 different connector at the other end of the USB data cable.

It has a PATA connector for both full size and slim line connectors on opposing sides of the adapter. The full size has 40 pins (50 pin minus the power pins and so forth, which number 10, so 50 minus 10 equals 40 pins), and the slim-line (same deal as before) has 42 pins minus 1 on the top row in the middle. I hope that description is detailed enough to help you out, but I can say that it fit my own PATA cd drive, which is a full size, just fine.

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.

I wouldn't think that would be so.This caddy interfaces the hard drive with the connector in the laptop. it gives mounting capability to secure the hard drive to the computer,but you would hav e to convert your pata connector in your computer to sata for this to help.

You must determine if your laptop has either 9.5mm SATA optical bay or a 12.7mm SATA optical bay. If you have the 9.5mm then your in luck,this wiol work for you. I do know what exact model you have or country of origin.

This will work with either SATA or PATA drives, connectors are included for both. I hooked up an old 250 GB. PATA drive as new motherboard had no connectors for it.

I typically use a Samsung SN-208DB, but you could use any standard slim SATA optical drive.

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!!

I don't use it for connect hard drive, but the voltage and ampers maybe working with it,, so there are another solution for connect hardrive. for example SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB Adapter Converter

Yes, it should since it's just a usb device. I have used it with machines that had no optical drives. Your laptop might have to go out to the net to download a driver, but that is routine and you don't have to do anything special.

I think so, but I am old school. I think PATA is what used to be called IDE so then the only issue is the digital speed not the rotation speed and what speed your motherboard can handle. some IDE HD's have a jumper that switches it from 100 to 150 or300mbs but if it doesn't work it will not hurt the HD or the MB to try. Or you can do one better maybe by getting a 250 GIG OR A 500 GIG SATA HD and get a little adabter board that will allow any SATA drive to work with a IDE motherboard or any PATA drive to work with any SATA MB. Amazom has them for around $2 or $3 or maybe $5 at most If your MB has at least 1 SATA connector you would not need the adapter or you can also if you have any unused PCI slots available get a PCI HD interface board with both SATA and PATA connections, maybe 2 PATA and 1 or 2 SATA connectors

I am not sure, but I believe so. The 2.5" form factor is correct. I am less sure about this: the PATA (new version) interface of the enclosure is compatible with the ATA (older version) of the drive. For less than $5, I'd say go for it.

Steven, I removed the optical drive from my MacBook Pro and in its placed I installed a Hard Drive. I ordered this part to connect the removed optical drive and still use it with my laptop through a USB port. It works as though the optical drive is installed inside the Mac. All you need is this connection.

It works great with my Asus SATA Blu-ray burner. Now the internal Blu-ray burner becomes a portable one.

Double check if your system requires a sata or pata hard drive. Because I think this is a sata and most computers I've dealt with come pata standard. The difference will cost you about 15 bucks in a converter board.

I believe that model only has two sata ports so you would have to remove your optical drive from the motherboard for this cable to work

Alexa, go to a computer store (Best Buy) and pick up a Sata cable. They are not expensive. The Asus DRW is a very good optical drive in my opinion, it is just unfortunate that you have to make the trip to obtain a connector cable.

It also comes with a molex (PATA) style connector. Just use a molex to SATA adapter to run the second drive. I am running two laptop drives off of it in my system.

SATA 3 6Gb cable like franklin said. With that said, make sure your computer has data connectors. Older computers have PATA (IDE) connectors. If u have PATA THERE ARE PATA TO SATA adapters but you will only get the PATA speed.
