Mainter Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>> I have a quick, cheap fix that will let you use the drives for long-term storage of photos and videos: an $18 adapter that allows you to connect any IDE drive to your PC's USB port. The PCMS IDE to USB 2.0 Drive Adapter consists of a USB cable that terminates with an IDE connector and a power supply. That's it--there's no enclosure, and you provide the 2.5-, 3.5-, or 5.25-inch drive. Attach the drive to the connector, turn on your computer, copy the files, and disconnect the drive once you've shut down the system. This is a great way to use old 20GB drives. Though I wouldn't waste a new SATA drive in this manner, you might need to; if so, the $30 Young Micro USB 2.0 Adapter can help. source: pcworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
