Interesting adapter

#1 Post by ADOR »

This is a interesting adapter I ran across today. It looks very portable for someone to keep in there tool bag for testing hard-drives.

It does IDE, SATA 2.5 and 3.5

You can get them on Ebay for less than $8.00, sometimes several dollars less. Just make sure the package includes the power adapter as some of the cheaper ones do not. Oh, and BTW, you can also use these with a CD or DVD to use them as an external drive.
One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...

I use a similar adapter. I can use it to connect an external ide DVD-burner to my toughbooks. Even my CF-M34 mk3 (700Mhz) boots from it.

Its a LogiLink USB2.0 to IDE & SATA Adapter (AU0006D v 1.0)
