The PATA2SATA3 is a bi-directional SATA IDE adapter/converter that lets you connect a Serial ATA drive to a legacy IDE port, or an IDE drive to a SATA motherboard port.
A cost-effective solution for upgrading existing IDE systems to support SATA hard drives or optical drives, the SATA/IDE adapter eliminates the expense of having to purchase a controller card while saving the expansion slot that would be required for card installation.
In addition to SATA hard drive installation, the adapter can be reversed in order to connect older IDE drives to a newer SATA-enabled motherboard, making it easy to retrieve old files from a previous system.
The StarTech.com Advantage
- A single, versatile adapter can be used to connect an IDE device to a SATA motherboard or vice-versa without any drivers or software installation
- Supports not only hard drives, but CD/DVD optical drives as well
- Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support
Common Customer Questions
No additional drivers or software required.
Applications
- Connect newer SATA drives to an older motherboard with only IDE support
- Connect an old IDE drive to a new SATA only motherboard to recover the data
- Technicians who regularly need to work with both types of drives across different types of systems

Wont work in new HP
I bought this adapter to transfer a WD-250GB to a new HP Z240 workstation. It isn't recognized. All cables are connected correctly and the Power Indicator on the Interface is lit. Hard drive spins up, but nothing is recognized by the computer. Not even in the Device Manager. No drivers to update and nothing else to change. I wont give it a Quality rating, since it doesn't work.
Response from StarTech.com:
Thank you for sharing your review of our PATA2SATA3. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you had with getting this adapter to work in your setup! Have you had a chance to check "Disk Management" to see if the drive is detected by the computer but isn't initialized? Have you also tried switching the drive between "Master" and "Slave" modes? This adapter is covered by a 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, to provide support. For further troubleshooting, I recommend reaching out to us at 1-800 265-1844 or www.startech.com/chat Sam, StarTech.com Support
Only one that works with newer computers.
Only adapter we found that works with newer model computers. We use it in a classroom environment with removable IDE drives and it works perfectly
I bought this adapter to retrieve files from an IDE disk drive that was in an older computer that failed. Not having a system with IDE interface to connect the drive to, I needed the adapter to connect to a system with a SATA drive interface. The adapter worked perfectly. If the system that you intend to use this adapter in does not have a LP4 Molex 4 pin power connector for the IDE drive, you will need a SATA to LP4 Power Cable Adapter - F/M, which is StarTech product ID LP4SATAFM6IN.
