SATA Drive to standard IDE???

[Martoch]

Hey guys!


My boss purchases a SATA hard drive (on accident) and wants to hook it up to his computer, which of course has a motherboard that does not support SATA drives.

What kind of SATA->IDE adapter(s) do I need to purchase to make this work? I've seen adapters that convert IDE drives to SATA interface, but not vice versa...I didn't Google much as I'm short on time.

Thanks!

Check New Egg. I'm sure they have them. It will go in a PCI slot.

So this is all I would need then?

I'm not sure you need the power adapter, but it's cheap. I think the adapter comes with the power connector, but I'm not sure.

Those parts work like a champ!
