Can I use this to connect 2.5" SATA SSD to a computer's 3.5" IDE port?

I did not personally do this, but it should be possible. You would simply plug the adapter into the motherboard and run your cables from the adapter to the ssd. Hope this helps!

Worked fine on a SATA DVD drive to IDE port, not sure about a SATA hard drive but don't see why not.

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

You can use a Sabrent USB 2.0 to SATA hard drive adapter to connect it or similar.

I don't think this board will work if your computer has a ide drive in it, you need to have either ide drives or sata, not a mix

Will this work with a sata drive bay? Does it need to connect directly to a motherboard?

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

Don't see why not. Mine works with my Crucial M500 2.5 inch SATA III SSD, so seems likely.

Yes, this product will support SSD Drives that conform to using the SATA Interface. As stated directly from Thermaltake's web site "Supports all 2.5" & 3.5" SATA I/II/III hard drives in ALL Capacities"

The drive bays will work with a 2.5" SSD. I am running one as my boot drive. You just need to mount the screws in one side or the bottom. It's simple to do.

I have this enclosure. IDE will not work with it. There are adapters on the market but they will not fit in this case. SATA drives slide in and when the door closes it presses them in tightly to make a secure connection. No room for adapters at all.

You could connect it to the SATA port on a mainboard with an adapter cable, but I don't know what kind of thru put you would get.SATA to eSATA Cable

No, this will not work. This cable is for multiport RAID cards. It will not split a regular SATA connector.

Yes. Just about any 2.5" HDD Sata should work. SATA is backward compatible. Try to use the eSata connection when doing any kind of data transfer. It is by far the most efficient transfer method for this container. The real value of USB 3 is for USB sticks. For HDD it really lags behind sata 2 or sata 3. This container was truly built for the 1 TB SSD's. For SSD's this thing is the fastest thing on the market, of course using the eStata connection.

Yes, the interface is backward compatible with the old format Sata up to 1.5, and should be no problem working at the sata 2 interface speed.

Don't know never tried. Basically I use it as an adapter to connect IDE Cables to a SATA HDD. Older MOBO hasno SATA ports so this is very useful to upgrade to SATA. It works perfectly. No issues.

Actually there are a number of adapters converting iDE-->SATA and SATA-->IDE. Some are cables, some are dongles. I have one that is a small enclosed module that plugs on the back of the IDE disk drive and provides the SATA data connector on the other. You would also have to provide power to the IDE drive with an adapter from the SATA power connector in the Thermaltake. It's pretty cludgy, but it can be done. Also, if you are going to buy one of these adapters, look for one that is bi-directional IDE --> SATA -->IDE, that way you are ready for any situation.

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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BU6ITW?cache=f26e78305da93118e7fc972f1c8c77ddπ=SX200_QL40#ref=mp_s_a_1_2&precache;=1
