🔧 Version A — 2.5" IDE Female → SATA Male (44-pin IDE drive → SATA port)

Use case: Mount a legacy 2.5" IDE (44-pin) HDD/ODD as if it were a SATA device.

Features

• Detects a 2.5" IDE/ATA (44-pin) drive as a standard SATA drive

• On-board bridge IC for reliable, high-performance translation

• Bootable, driver-free, plug & play*

• Mini PCB — fits tight laptop bays/enclosures

• Up to 133 MB/s (ATA/133) link on the IDE side

• OS support: DOS / Win 98/ME/2000/2003/Vista/7 / Linux

*Hot-swap not supported.

Connectors

• IDE 44-pin female (to the 2.5" IDE drive; carries data + 5 V power to the drive)

• SATA 7+15-pin male (to SATA data + power in the host/device bay)

Notes

• Set the IDE drive to Master if applicable.

• Ensure the host/bay provides SATA power; the 44-pin header provides 5 V to the IDE drive.

🔧 Version B — PATA IDE Male → SATA Female (40-pin IDE host → SATA drive)

Use case: Connect a SATA HDD/SSD/ODD to an older motherboard/board with 40-pin PATA/IDE.

Features

• Converts a 40-pin PATA/IDE port into a SATA device port

• Bootable, driver-free, plug & play*

• Supports ATA/100 / ATA/133

• Works with 3.5"/2.5" SATA HDD/SSD and SATA optical (DVD/CD)

*Hot-swap not supported.

Connectors

• IDE 40-pin male (to motherboard/host)

• SATA 7-pin female (data to SATA drive)

• 4-pin Molex (power for the bridge; the SATA drive still needs standard SATA power from PSU)

Physical

• Approx. 98 × 26 × 22 mm | net ≈21 g

✅ Shared Advantages

• No drivers required on supported OSes

• Boot support (BIOS permitting)

• Compact, space-saving design

• Integrated bridge chipset for stable, economical operation

⚠️ Important Notes

• No hot-swap: power down before connecting/disconnecting.

• Cable orientation matters (check pin-1 marks/ribs).

• For optical drives on very old BIOSes, compatibility may vary.

• Use good-quality cables and provide proper SATA power to SATA drives.
