1. Introduction
This USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Combo Adapter allows users to use IDE or SATA (serial
ATA) hard drives or both over USB 2.0 connection. Its advantage is that you can
keep the existing IDE drive while at the same time move ahead to the new SATA
technology, which provides a faster transfer speed of up to 150 Mbps. Both 3.5”
IDE (using a converter) and 2.5” IDE are supported. Another great feature is that
you can exchange data between SATA and IDE drives by attaching both drives at
the same time. Any SATA or IDE drive can be conveniently turned into an external
USB 2.0 storage device.
