Thanks, in 4 2! 2 separate orders. These are very handy to have, and the comparable model on Newegg goes for 20-25.

Got the same message. Would be nice if it would tell me that before I went through all the steps of the order process.

EDIT: Well it does tell me that it is OOS when I try to add to my cart so perhaps I was not fast enough the first tiem through.

OOS? It allowed me to add into cart and input my personal info, but when I submited order, it said OOS.

isn't it a trick to get personal info?

I get this info now on checkout (without any further info needed/given) :

"The USB 2.0 to IDE / SATA Converter Cable is not currently available. Please contact us for availability of this item."

 

So it seems they fixed or updated thier website .

Based on the picture (correct me if I'm wrong) this model does not supply power to a 2.5" PATA drive other than through USB. Many USB ports don't supply enough power for this. If you plan to use 2.5" PATA drives you are almost certainly better off spending a little extra to get one that has a power connector.

For SATA and 3.5" drives this kind of adapter is fine - I've been using one like it for quite some time.

It says that it comes with IDE power cable and I think the picture is wrong. I have the same set but a different brand. I think it will come with the cable because you are right, the USB port will not be able to power the IDE hard drive.

Actually, from the picture, it looks to be an IDE power adapter with an IDE power to SATA power converter connector. The actual device that converts from IDE/SATA to USB probably runs itself off of USB power.

Ordered one. I just got something similar from Newegg for $25. Not bad to have a spare for $9.

The question is whether or not it includes an adapter for 2.5" PATA drive power or if that kind of drive will only be powered via the same USB connection that is powering the device itself. I've seen them sold both ways and based on the picture I don't think this one includes a cable for 2.5" PATA drives.
