I have a WD PATA 160 Gb3.5" hd; will this cable work with PATA drives ?

Yes it will. I have used it on a couple of patta drives and it worked flawlessly.

Absolutely. This will work on PATA and SATA drives both 3.5" and 2.5". The 2.5" is what would be in the laptop.It is an excellent product. I have another one which I bought earlier but this one has some additional featureslike the on/off switch.

All of these kinds of adapters are very flaky. They work with some drives, and others they will not. There is no way of knowing unless you can find someone that's using your exact same drives. Among several variables, it's the chipset of the drive that usually determines this. (This DID NOT WORK with a SATA HD I got, trying to use it in an external IDE enclosure. In a case such as that, it may be the HD or of course it may be the enclosure). I've tried similar adapters with optical drives and some worked and some did not.

Yes it will ! As long as the drive is IDE/PATA it will work and it A cheap way to get an external drive and or get your data.

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.

I believe it will. Does the drive say SATA on it? That specifies one of the two interfaces this cable works with.

This will work with any Hard Drive that has a SATA port. I just looked up your drive and it does have a SATA connection so you're good to go.

No, it's PATA as shown on the website, which is the same as IDE. It will work in older machines with IDE but not in newer machines that have SATA.

No it would not. It is only has connections for an SATA Drive which are the flat type connectors. I think 7 pin for the data and 15 pin for the power. They do make enclosures for older ATA or better know as PATA. The P is for Parallel. Mine did not have a ribbon cable like some people said and the box clearly says for SATA drives only.Sorry, now that I looked they sell two models. I bought the USB 3.0 SATA version. The other one should work.

Please be more specific in your question. Example: is the WDC WD5000BPKT-22PK4T0 ATA Device Manufacturer Western Digital Form Factor GB/2.5 compatible in a 3.5" SATA II installation.Answer: Yes. Please use adapter rails to install the device inside you computer.

Yes, it will work with any Sata based drive. There isn't a speed difference between sata cables, so go for style more than anything

The Hong Kong Seller is very slick in getting rid of their junk. In your case, you got the PATA to SATA, not the SATA to PATA adapter.You paid $1.20 while SATA to PATA costs $5.60.If I was wrong or that you could not figure out how to use the adapter, let me make sure that the 20 pins fit on the HHD and the other side with 39 pins fits on the IDE cable.If you have no 39 pins, you got the wrong adapter that fits a SATA to SATA of PATA to SATA.

Mine did not work. This drive is sata and I needed a pata drive. Double check. I have done these replacements before And they work great. Just do your research and insure you are purchasing the correct interface.

It will work with any sata drives. I assume that the barracuda is a sata drive. So if this is true, it will work.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.
