Sabrent launches its new USB-C to SATA/IDE 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch, and 5.25-inch HDD adapter, a truly one-stop storage management solution for SATA, IDE drives.
If you have a mix of legacy and modern storage devices, the StarTech.com USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA adapter allows simple plug-n-play functionality.
StarTech sells multiple versions of its USB to SATA adapters, including USB-A-enabled editions featuring either USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 2; the USB-C version is USB 3.1 Gen 2 only.
I need an adapter that's SATA on one side to plug into a small 2.5" hard drive (both power and data), and on the other I need either a female male 50-pin PATA plug.
So this little doodad, which at $48 admittedly seems a bit expensive for a mere adapter, will last you for years. Don’t forget that SSDs use SATA as well. Pick yours up at Brando.
The Hybrid Multiport Adapter plugs into a USB-C port and passes power (but not data) over its own USB-C port. The port can output up to 100 watts, but requires up to 15W for its own operation.
