This is where the USB to SATA/IDE combo kit comes in to play. It allows you to dock almost any drive to it and connect it to your PC via USB so that files can be quickly transferred.

The kit includes the connector, power cable and USB cable and it’s compatible with 3.5″ IDE, 2.5″ IDE, 1.8″ IDE as well as SATA drives. Optical drives can also be connected too which includes Blu-Ray, DVD, CD, writeable and rewriteable drives.

* Connect USB 2.0 ports to any IDE or SATA drive:
o 3.5″ IDE
o 2.5″ laptop IDE
o 1.8″ micro IDE
o 3.5″ SATA
o 2.5″ SATA
o Optical drive that supports standard IDE or SATA connectors*
* AC Input: 100-240v/50-60hz
