inch IDE-based (PATA) hard drives in most StarTech.com SATA-based HDD docking
stations and drive duplicators. The SATA-IDE adapter features all-metal construction
that ensures maximum durability, and is fully compatible with IDE hard drives up to

drives into SATA-only desktop computers, or any other scenario that requires an IDE
hard drive to be connected through Serial ATA.
