Can I hook up my SSD using this converter? If so, how?

Adding to my previous answer: Turn off your system. In your case you will plug the small board on your motherboard/disk controller IDE connector then plug your SATA cable on the little board on the plug labeled " to SATA drive" or something like that. Then you will plug the sata cable to your SSD drive. The red led should turn on steady when you turn on your system. I forgot this: you need to plug the board on your PSU too as well as your SSD.

That converter will turn an IDE drive which has many pins into a sata drive. You will plug in the sata wire and 4 small power to this converter. Then the llarge 4 pin to the hard drive. If you have more questions let me know.

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.

You could but I would not recommend it due to the slow transfer speeds. Which is the largest benefit of owning an SSD.

First do not recommend using this if you have a ssd that would fall well typing speed and reading your ssd but if you can connect using a sata to sata connector and the power of three legs like those used in disk drives

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

Yes, that won't be a problem. I have mine hooked up via FW800 powering a Western Digital Black 750GB 2.5" SATA HD that uses considerably more power than an SSD. Hope this helps.

I don't use it for connect hard drive, but the voltage and ampers maybe working with it,, so there are another solution for connect hardrive. for example SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB Adapter Converter

I have no idea. It probably is since it's the same brand. I tried it on a SSD but it didn't work...

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

Yes. You also get this adaptor with the SSD itself... I ended up 2 extra myself. It's still the best and cheapest adaptor you can get!

You need a SATA to USB converter with power. Something like: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Supply-Activity-EC-AHDD/dp/B00CPGYNV4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1383744478&sr=8-4&keywords=SATA+USB

Yes you can use it, but one problem is that, Some drive bays have a height of 7 mm, while others have a height of 9.5 mm. Depending on the size of your drive bay, you may need to use a spacer to make your SSD fit properly

I don't believe it is possible as the footprint of the SSD drive is different from that of a SATA drive..

Yes. If your drive has a power connector, you plug it in there, either directly or with the supplied adapter. There are 3 photos that show the complete setup clearly for different drive types, with instructions for each.

Yes you can. To do it right you will need an adapter to go to the larger size of an optical drive. Check on ebay and it shouldn't be to much. You could also screw it to one side of the drive bay and use a wooden or plastic spacer under the ssd ,but it will only be held on one side.

No, but you can purchase one. It needs to be a 3.5 slot converter. For 2.5". I am sure they are cheap. This is a great drive because I have it. Good luck

you probably need a SATA Cable, and also some brackets to mount the SSD. As the packaging don't come with brackets.

If the slot you have is for "mSATA" then this card will work. If it has what is called a "M.2" slot then that requires a different type of SSD card since the connector size is different. Best to refer to your motherboard manual just to be sure since not all motherboards have support for these.

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

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
