Can it be connected with IDE to the motherboard? Thank you for answering.

No. It connects via 1 1/2 internal USB headers, 1 SATA, and 1 internal audio connector.
785294
This item does not have IDE connection that connects to the motherboard. It has SATA and on-board USB support. The IDE connection is on the exterior of this device where you can connect a IDE peripheral to it (ex: HDD, Optical drive..etc).
785295
No this unit connects to the motherboard with a internal usb connection. the IDE in the front is to connect older IED hard drives to it.
785296
No, this is connected via USB header plug to your motherboard. The IDE on the outside transmits through the same internal USB plugs inside.

If your disk matches the format supported by this device, yes. IDE/PATA/SATA

Plug the IDE Cable from Motherboard into the IDE connector on this unit, the SATA connector you must use only one of them - they are different one SATA is SATA [From Motherboard] to IDE the other is IDE to SATA [Drive]

as I understand this the IDE still gets connected to the regular power supply, I used a different IDE to SATA. hope this helps.(you do know the smaller slit of the SATA is power? try not connecting that and connect the IDE power as usual)

This is for a SATA connection and will not fit the IDE. There is no room for an adapter inside the casing.

No not to my understanding your computer is iDE compatible. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/corporate/press/20050201cwd_M70.pdf

why would you want to? I don't know of any IDE SSDs. This strictly converts IDE to Sata, just based on the plug. The IDE side is the same as the IDE cable. I suppose if you plug this directly into your motherboard and then have the sata plug into that it would make some sense, but i don't think this was designed to plug into your motherboard, and you'd have to ensure there's even space for that in your case.

It is supposed to work. You need to have enough room in your case to plug it straight into the motherboard. (At least 2 inches above motherboard clear, maybe 3.) Then you will have to play with the two sata connectors to figure out which is which. Read the other reviews on here about plugging the IDE portion in correctly. It is VERY VERY VERY easy to plug in wrong.

If the HD didn't fail this will work with an IDE or SATA drive so you should be able to use it.

Am sorry but the answere is no or you change the mother board and its component big job

I don't see why it wouldn't. It appears to be a standard IDE connection, from the pictures I could find

I doubt it but maybe they manufacturer could give you a better answer. I used to connect a SATA HD to an old IDE computer. I worked great.

This device only works with SATA connections. Your IDE hard drive is not compatible with it. to my knowledge there is no adapter that can convert SATA connections to IDE and vis versa. Your best bet is to get an IDE external hard drive enclosure and connect your IDE hard drive to that. My recommendation is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145133 . I own this enclosure and it works great. ORconnect your IDE drive internally to your PC; meaning screw your hard drive into your hard drive cage inside your PC and then connect the hard drive to your mother board via an IDE cable, then connect the power cord to it.

No, there is no adapter that I'm aware of (I'm honestly not sure how one would fit in here). The only way to hook up an IDE drive would be to buy a separate IDE to USB adapter, which would plug into a USB port . These days, IDE hard drives are few and far between.

Agree with the other respondant. However, if you have a usb cable, try on another computer. The starTech sata IDE cable should work if the disk is sata IDE.

In my case I have using an IDE DVD drive connected to a SATA socket on the motherboard and it works perfectly. Good luck.

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON
