I have an old HitachiHDS728080PLAT20 HDD and it label says "ATA/IDE". Will it fit in this case? If not; Is there an adapter, just in case? THANKS!.

No, it won't work. SATA is completely different and an adapter wouldn't fit in the housing unit. Just so you know the difference between SATA and ATA and IDE Google image search them. I recommend that you look for a housing unit that is IDE compatible. Since that's older technology you might find prices for housing units are cheaper.

No, the interface is different This one SATA. U have an IDE hdd (old school). So that being said look for an 3.5 IDE hard drive. i bought this one great product no issues:

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

Yes, this will adapt both SATA connectors of the drive through the card to an IDE cable. Your Seagate description is: Seagate Barracuda 120GB SATA Hard Drive, Manufacturer: SEAGATE, Model: ST3120026AS, RPM: 7200, Interface: SATA, Firmware: 8.05, Capacity: 120GB. You didn't provide any specifications on the older computer so it is a guess on my part about the IDE interface, but it should be fine.

Yes, this worked for me in the same situation. But, the sata adapter must be in the master position like you're oriented. That's what I've read. I might have some advantage in that I'm using the superior 80 pin IDE/PATA cable instead of the standard 40 pin original version. The 80 pin cable is round & not like the flat wide type. Also, make sure your bios is the newest available so the PC has the most capability & recognition. Good luck!

Yes, PATA is an IDE drive. It actually stands for Parallel ATA. AT stands for Attachment. The C2G-30504 comes with a power supply that has an On-Off inline switch. This power supply will power up an external PC hard drive with the correct voltage to run the drive independently. The power supply has two types of connections. There is a 4 pin connector for the IDE/ATA/PATA drives along with a SATA power connector. Now moving on to the data connections: You have the USB adapter cable that you will plug into your PC. On the other end, you have three connector ports to choose from. You have two IDE ports, one on one side and one on the other. One side is for 5.25" drives and the other side is for 2.5" drives. The SATA drives can be plugged into the end of the adapter with the supplied 5.5" SATA cable. Once plugged in and running, you can retrieve the data on the external drive. As long as the drive is not damaged, you should be able to retrieve the data.

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

My unit came with a power adapter and works fine with both IDE and SATA devices. I am very pleased with it's performance. Some people leave them connected permanently but I do not do this.

Sorry, but I have no experience with your case or hd. Why would Amazon think a consumer could answer a tech question such as this?If this hard disk is of a normal size and uses a normal 4 screw mounting system, then the hd will fit the tray. However, to determine if the tray will fit in your case, you will need to check an HP site for your case or one of the parts resellers to see if there is an HP factory tray that fits your case and if it matches this one.

This is a ide(pata) hard drive not a sata.This hd uses a ribbon cable for data.The power and data cables are totally different and not compatible.You must buy a sata hard drive.

I think so, but I am old school. I think PATA is what used to be called IDE so then the only issue is the digital speed not the rotation speed and what speed your motherboard can handle. some IDE HD's have a jumper that switches it from 100 to 150 or300mbs but if it doesn't work it will not hurt the HD or the MB to try. Or you can do one better maybe by getting a 250 GIG OR A 500 GIG SATA HD and get a little adabter board that will allow any SATA drive to work with a IDE motherboard or any PATA drive to work with any SATA MB. Amazom has them for around $2 or $3 or maybe $5 at most If your MB has at least 1 SATA connector you would not need the adapter or you can also if you have any unused PCI slots available get a PCI HD interface board with both SATA and PATA connections, maybe 2 PATA and 1 or 2 SATA connectors

i would say this is a really good brand and it works perfectly well however i am not sure if your device is an IDE connection or a SATA......so please check (as this is an IDE).

YES 2.5 or 3.5 hdd it will fit into the cut out part you see in the picture. it will even work for IDE if you get the adapter for it with either size hdd

My research indicates that this would fit as an ide (pata) drive is pretty much the same regardless of brand. You may have to switch out the bezel to make it work ,& swap out the bracket. The drivers are usually generic ones downloaded by your operating system.

Yes, but be aware it uses a SATA connector not an ATA connector. Also mine did not come with any kind of mounting kit or screws, just the hard drive. I had to use extra screws I had left over from when I bought my PC case.

I bought two types of adapters. I did not use this one. I used the HDE SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter shown for $6.50. I used it to connect a SATA Optical DVD player to the IDE cable. It worked fine. I would expect it to work with a SATA SSD Go to http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B002Y2NI4M/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405960951&sr=1-2&keywords=HDE%C2%AE+SATA+to+IDE%2FIDE+Adapter&dpPl=1

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

It should - I put a WD 500GB IDE hard drive in mine - The crucial thing is that you set the jumper correctly (making it a 'Master') - The settings are on a sticker on the HDD itself. Hope this helps.
