Would you like to use your internal hard disk or CD-ROM drive outside your computer as an external drive? Or perhaps you'd like to save money on expensive and often cumbersome external USB HDDs?
The S-ATA and IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter is a neat PC accessory that acts as a bridge between your computer's USB port and almost any internal SATA or IDE/ATAPI drive (that's pretty much all recent drives), giving PC users and gadget lovers a portable, convenient and highly versatile alternative to traditional external USB Hard Disk Drives.
The hi-speed USB 2.0 interface ensures fast transfer and easy installation, particularly when combined with the adapter's user-friendly plug and play technology. The adapter is even backward and forwards compatible with a multitude of different drive standards, so you can use an old IDE hard drive in a new computer by connecting it to the adapter, or a new SATA hard drive in an old computer. You can even connect two hard disk drives to the adapter at the same time, as well as transfer data between the drives over the adapter.
And that's not all! A big selling point of this indispensable adapter is its ability to format large capacity hard drives which exceed 32GB, unlike the FAT32 system used as standard in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Using the IDE and SATA Adapter you can format a hard drive of up to 4TB (4000GB), Plus, its handy 1-touch backup option means you can quickly back up important data!
If all these abbreviations have you confused, don't worry, although this product isn't one of the easiest to write about, it is one of the simplest to use and also one of our best sellers, with many thousands of satisfied users.
This is a PC gadget lover's dream...don't miss out!

Customer reviews
"I recently purchased the IDE SATA Driver and have found it to be an excellent unit, I already have a couple of external hard drive cases, but they are so cumbersome compared to this unit - plus - this unit will do so much more, and so quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend it to anyone."
Mr B Hay, Worthing
"I bought this because i had a couple of 1G hard drives with info on, but they'd been removed from previouse upgrades. Worked a treat, now I use them as external storage devices without the expensive cases."
Mr K McAllister, Guildford
"This is an incredible device. Works on PCs and Macs with no problems. Easy to set up. I've got various hard drives (all IDE, no SATA yet) which I've been able to access (and even reformat) using this device. "
Mr G Miles, Ayrshire
"I bought the IDE/Sata to USB adapter a few months ago and found it a godsend, I made a clone of my c drive for back up using the device, a few weeks after I suffered a c drive failure, having made the backup I was able to take the crashed drive out and put the backup in, and not having to re-enstall everything. Bliss! I then formated the crashed drive and recloned the c drive again using the device, just in case. I have just purchased another one so I can swap files between hard drives, as I have several old internal hard drives its cheaper than buying external hard drives with the extra space they take up."
