2.5" SATA hdd to IDE converter?
For the sole purpose of using a 2.5" SATA hd in an IDE notebook, does this little adapter exist? Common sense would tell me so, seeing as they come with connectors on the end. Thank you.
I think what you want does not exist. Laptops are too compact for additional items like adapters, it would be a rare notebook computer that makes room for one.
I found various things on Google Product Search, but most were as I suspected they'd be, external USB enclosures that you can put a SATA notebook drive in, or cardbus adapters that take e-Sata.
The good news is that while SATA is faster, it's not faster by much. You can get much better performance gains by adding RAM or upgrading or processor.
