Thank you for this. It helped me out a lot and I saved money. Staples was going to charge me $100, but I bought the SATA/IDE cables for $7 on eBay and was able to retrieve my files.
“You know your modern operating system like windows xp” that aged well 😂😂
Yes. But his information it's help me so much in sata and ide and how to match them
Thank you for a very thorough and understandable video. Unlike many others on this topic, you actually took the time to show how to connect the cables and even more, you walked me through the computer interface. Job well done!
Thanks, excellent explanation and solved my problem. You were the only person to show & tell how to initialize and format a hard drive after connecting to a USB port. Thank you again.
Possibly the best instructional video I've seen on RUclips.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I had a computer go belly up but the hard drives were still good. Never knew that these devices were even around. Ordered by IDE/SATA adapter... watched your video and I was off and running. Thank you for posting. I was able to retrieve ALL of my files from my old computer without any problems.
Thank you so much!! you saved my life! I bought the same adaptor as you and when I saw that the plug didn't match I got so frustrated...but I didn't give up and then I found your video!!! :) now I recovered all my data!! I'm so happy! :)
This video by far is the best in explaining all the parts!
Thanks for the video. For USB to IDE users, try changing the jumper before giving up. I changed the jumper on the old IDE drive from Master to Slave, no luck, removed it altogether, still no luck, and finally changed it to Cable Select and then my old drive was recognized as a drive on my laptop. Cable Select worked for my laptop, which is Win Vista. I read other articles where Slave works on some and even removing the jumper altogether might work. Plenty of info on this by searching Google for IDE Jumper.
great presentation perfect flow. I love getting right to the point.
Your video is so clear and extremely useful. Thank you, it helped a lot
Thank you for this excellent video. This helped me a lot.
thanks for the information, I didn't get any instructions for the one I bought.
your video is a much needed information and I for one am grateful for your help!!
Used this on my crashed SATA hard drive and it worked great as in your video. Thanks!
You move at just the right pace for me - many thanks
Aweeeeeesome video!!! Very clear and professional!!! Thanks a million!!! 10/10
Thank you! GREAT instructions! It worked!!
Thank you so much. Even a computer illiterate like me was able to understand it the way you explained the procedure.
Excellent video well narrated and explained! Glad you used a tripod!
This was the most helpful video. I bought the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter to transfer data from my old hard drive to my new computer but the "instructions" that came with it did not explain how to connect the different types of hard drives and which connectors went where. I'm a pretty tech savvy power user but I'm no computer tech and this video totally saved the day.
Thanks Tim for the very informative video. The video has been a great help. Cheers
It was a very easy & helpful tutorial !!!
Great vid, thanks for the help!
Thankyou so much for making this video-seriously appreciate it !!
Awesome., thanks for that, good to check if I hooked it up all correctly.
Thanks buddy, this helps me decide whether or not I wanted to purchase one of these.
Thank you very much for the demo. It helped me so, so much:)
Great video. This answered all my questions. Thanks!
I'm going to get a more universal adapter like this one, than the one I was thinking of getting. Excited to get my data off 3 old dead computers.... For next to no $!
Thanks for the help. Some are so fast , it's hard to follow , but you are very clear what needs to be done.
This is so helpful. Thanks a lot man!
Thanks for the video Tim!
Well done Tim. Thank you!
Thank you for the detailed information, it helped me quite a bit thanks again
It can be pretty hard for beginners to find all info about data/power connections. Many thanks for all these useful info!!!

Thanks it worked very good. I appreciate.
Thank You. Very good tutorial.
Great tutorial! thank you sir.
Excellent video. Great help thankyou.
You helped me even in 2021 so thanks
THANKS MATE, WORKED A TREAT
Very clear explanation. Thank you. Worked for IDE desktop hard drive and SATA laptop drive. Unfortunately I was unable to connect ATA/IDE 2.5 laptop hard drive using this type of cable. Do I need a different one and if so, which one?
Great video.
Can you use this with a WD mypassport backup drive to retrieve data?
great explanation
Very helpful :)
Good Job !
Muy buen vídeo saludos
Thanks, helped me.
Really It Is Such A Great Vid......... Thanks........ :)
3:30 "And you just push it until its tight."
3:44 "You just plug it straight in and there is gonna be little bit of resistance it does take a little bit of force to get it in there but once its plugged in you gonna see its nice and flush."
Yes.
Thank you. Can I install Windows on the outside drive with the bridge & putting the iso on my laptop? Just choose that drive when it asks which drive or partition to install to? I've already formatted it with Disk Management.
Will this work for connecting an internal Macbook Pro HFS hardrive to a PC laptop?
You can buy the adaptor sat tiger direct. Too back the video did not show what options you have with a bad drive, but I did see another bid on RUclips that gave some ideas.
Hi, I bought the same product from Ebay but as soon as I connected it to a SATA 3.5" disk (the power side [as you call at 6:54]-the 4-color cables) there was an explosion and the power supply went dead. At first I thought that the reason was a short circuit at the 4-colored cable pins since they're kind of loose, as you say at 6:03("they move"). Also the room's power fuse went off.
So I ordered a second item from ebay and this time I made the connections to a diffenent disk (a laptop 2.5"SATA) with a lot of care! I took special care not to have a new short circuit again. Even so, it happened again: When i finally put the plug to the wall outlet boom! (I saw a sparkle at the transformer's 220V input. I tried to ask the chinese seller for advice or a user manual (which was missing from the package), but he bearly understood any english. He gave me advice on how to follow the post tracking as if I had complained for not having received anything! I could use the rest of the articles in managing a 3.5 HDD with a power supply from a PC. A computer technician told me he thought the chinese power supply is faulty. Thankfully both disks were not damaged (I could read them throught other equipment) but I'm afraid to make the same mistake for a third time. I was afraid I misconnected something, but as I see I followed the same procedure as you did. Do you have any ideas or advice?
Thank you
Thanks a lot you help me buy this Video i upgrade my hp desktop with new Sata Hard drive and I don't know what to do old one but now I can buy online this stuff from Amazon and a new storage device thank's wish you a happy Christmas THank's
can you recommend a brand, perhaps on amazon?
I tried the device you have here, my question is, my pc used IDE drives and I tried with a sata drive and was not recognised and was prompted for drivers which Windows could not find. When I plugged the usb in my pc found the connection but not the drive.Can only the external drive type that's the same as my installed drives be used ie sata with sata and IDE with IDE. At the moment I don't have an IDE hard drive to test my usb cable.I have connected a spare dvd drive that's IDE and my pc found that and it works fine through the usb.
you know an HDD is old when it sounds like an air raid siren
Hilarious. My ide on my PS2 mod sounds the same lol. Sounds like the siren in silent hill 😅😅
I have a broken Compaq Presario CQ61 Laptop and I am going to buy a 2.5 inch SATA to USB 2.0 cable, should I buy a 15 or 22 pin one.
what happens if it says "parameter is incorrect" when you plug it in?
Does all of that equipment come with the adapter all in one package or do you have to buy anything separately?
what if when the harddrive gets plugged in it can't automatically download the driver? I plugged in 1 hard drive worked great! then i plugged in another one "one with the pins older" and it won't downloaded the need driver to pop up on my PC.
Man, your fists looks like UFC fighter's... Also thanks for the video, its really heps me to bring my old HDD to life! Hi from Ukraine!!!
thank you sir
bringing to life one 40gb hdd at a time
Tim...great video. my computer went dead and I'm trying to recover my files from my desktop, 3.5 IDE w/XP, but as soon as I hook up the ac power to the HD, I start getting a clicking sound, over and over, but after a while it stops. I'm also watching for a different drive to come up, but nothing is popping up like in your video. What do you thing my problem is & how can I fix it? Thanks & by the way, I'm using a Kingwin USI-2535 adapter
Thanks man😁, I sub😌
What about newer hard drives that don't use molex? Will I have to use a power supply that has the proper connector?
Would it work to make an IDE DVD writer act as a make do optical drive on a new system?
My ide drive pins seem to big for the ide adapter holes are there any other styles i could use for it?
I have a WD Caviar Green 2 TB Hard Drive, it is a newer model with not a molex but 8 pin power connector and SATA. What do I do?
I have the following question the team is not easily damaged is I have one and use it as much when I connect it only shows me a red light.
Thanks you.
hi , I have a WD 2500 BEVT-60A23TO and to convert to external drive no enclosure just with cables kit , how to get the right cables kit for this brand of drive?
I have 2003 ide , On the desk top hard drive what about the 10 pin spot that has a little fuse or plastic thing on 2 of the pins, in between the power and the 39 pin it’s a plug for something. Does that spot need to be plugged into something if not what was that for when it was in the pc ? Cause I can’t get my comp to recognize when I plug mine in can hear my laptop tryin to make it work but nothing , no sound or auto play can’t find it it’s like it’s not plugged in but my laptop is humming tryin to make it work.
thanks for this.what happens if nothing pops up on my desktop when i connect the usb?
I have this same question.
Happening to me right now, any help would be appreciated
My thoughts would be...…..go to MY COMPUTER where it shows you your drives & see if its listed there, for example C drive, D drive, F drive J drive or whatever. and just see if its listed there even if it didn't pop up when u plugged it in, if its there, right click it or even double click it & go from there.
+worldstart dat converter can be plugged to harddisk ATA(old version)? so I mean, the point is it can be convert from ATA to SATA?
Does this work for disc drives as well?
I'm using a Desktop PC. Is there any way to connect the SATA power cable to the power supply of the CPU?
you omitted to mention the link field - is it set to master, slave or cable?
Plz give me link for purchasing the product SATA/IDE cable
I realize this is a dinosaur of a post, but it's exactly what I need to go through the 9 old hard drives I found in drawers! I have a question though, a couple of these drives have jumpers on.....do I remove the jumpers? Thanks.
how much power does the hard drive connector need / the reason i ask is because i have a similar unit that doesnt have the molex connector and am afraid to make one to end up burning out the hard drive because i didnt know the power needed
I wish it worked so easily for me. My newer pc has packed in, I tried to use the sata transfer cables to plug into my old PC, but nothing. I then plugged the new harddrive into my older pc directly and it would not boot, just got the windows screen with 4 F key options to press, but pressing F11 etc did nothing.
Do you put the jumper in the master, slave or cs part on and ide hardrive? Did I miss that?
Tony, that was my exact question. The Jumper makes a BIG difference on IDE drives, my attempt failed to work, so maybe the jumper was set wrong, does the USB take that equation out of the situation???? Did you ever get an answer from this guy????? Every "How To" instruction seems to leave some important aspect, while focusing on plugging in AC cords and warnings about not using it underwater.
My HDD is unaffected by the power cable and also won't connect to my laptop. Is the HDD no good?
I have a laptop HD that I am trying to connect to recover the data. I am connecting it with the adapter to a Windows 10 desktop. The desktop keeps saying that I must format the disk in order to use it. I assume I do not want to click Format or it will erase my data, correct? How do I get through this message to connect?
At least your win10 recognizes the damn disk. Im doing the exact same only its not even registering a usb input. Not in DevMgr, not in DiskMgr, not in Drive area of my file explorer... Fkn nonsense man. NONSENSE.
hola tengo un adaptador usb ide sata, y tengo un problema cada vez que conecto un disco duro o una lectora, lo reconoce normal pero después de unos minutos se desconecta solo como si los puertos usb estuvieran flojos, se conecta y se desconecta y me da un mensaje que la unidad necesita formato y luego se desconecta, tienes alguna idea de que pueda estar pasando.
Can this method be used to recover files from a virus infected hard drive? As in is there a chance that whatever crashed that hard drive could be transferred to the host computer?
IT depends on the drive. If you only are extracting photos you shouldn't worry. Make sure the computer you are working on has the latest virus protection on it. Windows 10 or Linux preferred!
Hi, when i connect everything just like you have shown, my hard drive gets recognised as Local Disk. When i click this it says i need to format disk. Can you help please?
What is the name of the product showed in the demonstration?
