Victor (Fret Friend) Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Never used one myself but is this cheap enough? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-USB-2-0-to-IDE-SATA-2-5-3-5-Hard-Drive-Converter-Cable-/190687505314?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item2c65dc6ba2
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Even better as you get an external power cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-to-IDE-Adapter-Use-that-old-Hard-Drive-/140485250798?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b592ceee
Bloozguy Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 This is the only one I've ever used. It's not the least expensive ($39USD) but it and the software provided with it work flawlessly!http://www.apricorn.com/products/notebook-hard-drive-upgrade-kits/drivewire-ide-pata-sata-to-usb-hdd-adapter.html
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Get the one for $3 delivered lol. I'd buy it if I needed one. In fact, I'm buying a cheap Sata to IDE cable myself for $5. I'll let you know how I get on...
