Review: HDD変更に - 旧式3.5インチを２．５インチHDDを変更に使用した 動作良好でした Review: Upgrade your legacy device's hard drive. - Works perfectly. I used it to plug in an ssd into my G3 minitower. Had some back and forth but it was because of the system, not the adapter. If you are trying to get OS 9 on your mac, I had the most luck using QEMU to install the os onto the drive before booting. Either way, it's a wonder stuff like this exists and it's a great price. ## Features - Connect your SATA Hard Drive or Blu-ray/DVD/CD-ROM Drive to an IDE motherboard - IDE to SATA Adapter - IDE to SATA Converter - ATA to SATA Adapter - PATA to SATA Converter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EOJNGC2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,002 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #64 in Computer Memory Card Adapters | | Brand | StarTech | | Built-In Media | 1 IDE to SATA adapter, 1 LP4 Molex to SP4 Power Cable, 1 Instruction Manual | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible devices | Desktop | | Connector Type | SATA | | Connector type | SATA | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,890 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | External Testing Certification | FCC, CE | | Finish | Standard | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030852258 | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 2 x 2.3 centimeters | | Item Type Name | IDE to SATA Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.6 x 2 x 2.3 centimeters | | Manufacturer | STARTECH.COM | | Mfr Part Number | IDE2SAT2 | | Model Number | IDE2SAT2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Specific uses for product | personal | | UPC | 065030852258 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connector type:** SATA - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.6 x 2 x 2.3 centimeters - **Specific uses for product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter - 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD/ODD Converter (IDE2SAT2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J7B47osZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HDD変更に *by A***ー on 5 July 2019* 旧式3.5インチを２．５インチHDDを変更に使用した 動作良好でした ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade your legacy device's hard drive. *by P***Y on 12 May 2026* Works perfectly.
