All it does is allow the user to copy files from one older, uninstalled HDD or SSD to second unit, or a computer without having to go through the additional step of copying files to CD-Rom or thumb drive formats. Once this device is connected to the old drive, and then connected to your computer, the computer looks at this old drive as one of its own. You can copy any files to the HDD or SSD in your computer directly Unless the files you want to transfer to the computer are encrypted, you should have no problem, since the password on the old drive is only for the Windows operating system to seek and unlock the computer for authorized users The password for the computer does not encrypt any the files on the computer. However, if the files ARE encrypted you will need to know the password for the encryption system used to open those files, and then, if you wish, you can re-encrypt them once the files have been transferred to the new computer. That's why is so important to write down your various passwords and keep a list of them in a known, secure place, in case your computer dies, you'll know what they were. **Q: The power cord that plugs into a 3.5 ide drive looks too short to reach the location of a drive plugged into the unit. Am i correct?** A: I didn't have any problem plugging in the power cord to any of the 3.5" drives I used with the device. The length of the power cord was adequate. **Q: The hdd i want to use has a molex input will this need to be connected for the hard drive to be read by the adapater?will it not need additional power** A: Yes, if your hard drive has a molex input, you need connect it. It needs external power supply. It comes with an external power adapter and a molex input adapter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unlocking Your Data: A Review of the Inateck USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA Reader *by D***O on 26 December 2024* Dealing with older hard drives can feel like a trip down a digital rabbit hole.

The unit is nicely sized and does the job of connecting even old IDE drives well. Only slight issue I had was a really old drive where the power connector was a bit to close to the IDE connector. Still got it to fit but it was a bit of a squeeze, but that is hardly this products fault. Nice that it comes with a power supply and a small power cable for older drives. ## Frequently Bought Together - Inateck USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA External Hard Drive Reader Applicable to 2.5"/3.5" HDD/SSD, with 12V/2A Power Supply, SA03001 - Memory Card Reader, BENFEI 4in1 USB 3.0 and USB-C to SD Micro SD MS CF Card Reader Adapter, 4 Cards Simultaneously Read and Write, Compatible with iPhone 15 Series, MacBook Pro/Air 2023, and More - SmartQ C368 USB 3.0 Card Reader - Plug & Play, Compatible with Apple & Windows, Supports SD, Micro SD, MS, CF Cards --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/564004268-inateck-usb-3-0-to-ide-sata-external-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/564004268-inateck-usb-3-0-to-ide-sata-external-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
