Works well. *by D***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2015* Fantastic bit of kit, works a treat for IDE drives, can't speak for other combinations yet. First saw this type of product in a high street catalogue shop, unfortunately it was online / credit card etc. payment only, as I don't do credit / debit cards etc I was forced to find alternative where I could pay cash, thanks to Amazon gift card, problem solved, and as I had PSU and various leads already, instead of paying GBΒ£12, I paid GBΒ£1.95. Works without additional drivers with LINUX, this should be advertised!!! Now have 3 old IDE drives back in use as rotational backup drives. NOTE!!! If you plug this into computer without drive and PSU connected properly it will not register as anything, this is not a fault. Thank you seller, will buy from you again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Has design issues *by M***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2013* The device's IDE connector plugs directly into the drive's IDE socket but the edge of the device extends beyond the edge of the IDE socket as can be seen in the photo, which partially obscures the Molex power socket of the drive! All Molex plugs that I have come across have grip lugs and because the socket is partially obscured by the device, it is impossible to plug in the Molex plug without shaving off the grip lug on the device's side and even then it is a tight fit.I have tried extending the IDE socket away from the drive by fitting a male-male converter to an IDE ribbon cable but it degraded the signal and did not work. Shaving off the grip lug on the Molex plug was the only solution in my case.Other than that, it worked fine and with a scavenged old AT PSU, I was able to put my old DVD and HD drives to good use at a fraction of a converter kit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent must have bit of kit for the computer builder. *by Y***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2016* Excellent little product, does exactly what its designed to do, helped me clear down several old IDE hard drives. Motherboard manafacturers would do well taking note of the usefulness of such products, and possibly include them with the modern motherboards without an IDE slot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60314227-usb-2-0-to-ide-sata-2-5-3-5](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60314227-usb-2-0-to-ide-sata-2-5-3-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
