@overclockeador you are correct, these adapters not always work. Mine did not work either. I have a Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter, it comes with mini CD driver software which is useless.. this adapter does not work with a HDD that I am trying to recognize to get data off of. Now I have another adapter made or sold by CABLESTOGO, this adapter actually sees the HDD as a device but I cannt data off of just yet. In most cases if the HDD is just fine, it actually works.
One thing to point out is that the HDD is 44 pin as you can see the HDD is old and bigger than a laptop's HDD. This adapter only works for 44 pin HDD... is there another adaptor for 40 pin HDD ?
This would solve the IDE to SATA problem, but I only have 1 male molex plug that is used for the disk drive.
