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

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

Probably not. IDE is old tech. It supports only 2.5" SATA HDDs and SSD as specs lists.

power is needed for only 3.5 inch drives. It doesn't need power for SSD SATA which is 2.5 inch.

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

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.

This is SATA to IDE/PATA. So SATA drive into an IDE enclosure, yes, but IDE to SATA, probably not. Not without a cable/adapter to reverse the gender of the SATA connector (male to female). The connector on this is male and so is the connector on SATA drives. You would need at about an inch, since the adapter is about 3/4 inch to the outside edge of the connectors, plus a little more space for cables. So maybe, if space allows. I did use this in a larger enclosure and an old XP box, so I could use a SATA drive in place of an old IDE. Works pretty good for those :)

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.

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

Should be able to use it as long as it is a SATA ( serial )drive. Older IDE drives are not compatible.

With the proper adapter don't see why not. Look for a 2.5 inch to 5.25 inch drive bay adapter.

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

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:

It will allow you to connect a SATA device to your computers USB 3.0 port. For example you could connect a 2.5" sata drive to your computer via USB and access the drive.

Yes I believe so if ide is the one with 4 circles To sata adapter but you will be limited to ide speeds and will not get the 6gbps sata 3 speed But yes their are all kind of adapters I believe the kit version comes with adapter it's just a little bit more then the ssd by itself I believe this is the kit I ordered and came with adapter for my 2006 hp

I am sorry I can not give you an answer. The sata connection is an older version that only is workable with either an adapter plate or cable, which would make the enclosure unusable.

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

Yes, it should work w/ any 2.5" SATA drive. I've been using it for the past year w/o any problems (knock on wood)
