Use power cable from adapter into the motherboard, as extensions/separators might not work. Review: Works great on a 27 year old iMac - This and an SSD replaced the old electro-mechanical hard drive in an iMac G3 DV. Everything worked great right out of the box. I did have trouble loading MacOS X 10.4 on the SSD so I gave up on that after many tries. But it definitely works fine on the iMac with macOS 8.6 or macOS 9.2. ## Features - CONVENIENT SETUP: This IDE to SATA adapter enables SATA connectivity on older IDE motherboards, and is a complete hardware solution that does not require additional drivers or software; Works with any Operating System - ADD SATA CONNECTIVITY: This IDE SATA converter is a cost-effective solution for connecting SATA hard drives or optical drives to legacy IDE systems, with no additional controller cards required; Includes LP4 to SP4 internal power cable - WIDE COMPATIBILITY: Supports 2.5/3.5/5.25in SATA drives; Features features ODD (Optical Disk Drive) support for Blu-ray, DVD, or CD-ROM drives; Compliant with SATA version 1.0 and supports SATA I/II/III; Compatible with IDE/ATA 33/66/100/133 - THE IT PRO'S CHOICE: Designed and built for IT Professionals, this IDE to SATA motherboard adapter is backed for 2 years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual assistance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EOJNGC2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #17 in SATA Cables | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | 1 IDE to SATA adapter, 1 LP4 Molex to SP4 Power Cable, 1 Instruction Manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connector Type | Sata | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,951 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | FCC, CE | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030852258 | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 0.8 x 0.9 inches | | Item Type Name | IDE to SATA Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3 x 0.8 x 0.9 inches | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Mfr Part Number | IDE2SAT2 | | Model Number | IDE2SAT2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030852258 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connector Type:** Sata - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3 x 0.8 x 0.9 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech 40-Pin IDE to 2.5in SATA HDD/SSD/ODD Converter, TAA (IDE2SAT2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J7B47osZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great adapter *by C***R on July 11, 2026* Fast and easy to install. Works great for Sun Netra X1. Use power cable from adapter into the motherboard, as extensions/separators might not work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great on a 27 year old iMac *by D***D on June 27, 2026* This and an SSD replaced the old electro-mechanical hard drive in an iMac G3 DV. Everything worked great right out of the box. I did have trouble loading MacOS X 10.4 on the SSD so I gave up on that after many tries. But it definitely works fine on the iMac with macOS 8.6 or macOS 9.2. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade your legacy device's hard drive. *by P***Y on May 12, 2026* Works perfectly. I used it to plug in an ssd into my G3 minitower. Had some back and forth but it was because of the system, not the adapter. If you are trying to get OS 9 on your mac, I had the most luck using QEMU to install the os onto the drive before booting. Either way, it's a wonder stuff like this exists and it's a great price. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter, 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter, TAA - 24" 40-Pin 80-Wire Ultra ATA 2-Drive Ribbon Cable, Manhattan 332781, Model:, Electronic Store - StarTech.com LP4 to 2X LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M/F - LP4 Splitter - Molex Y Splitter - Molex Splitter (PYO2L) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/12853791-startech-40-pin-ide-to-2-5in-sata-hdd-ssd](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/12853791-startech-40-pin-ide-to-2-5in-sata-hdd-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
