Hi,

I still have a bunch of IDE drives laying around. I also have a drive bay with a case sliding in and out, where I can put an IDE drive in, reboot and use it.
But I want to use those IDE drives without rebooting, just like plugging/unplugging a USB stick.

I saw these: http://shop.conrad.nl/computer-en-kanto ... 74903.html#
(this is just an example)

Does anyone have experience with this?
And has one that works with 64-bit Windows?

Thanks,

I don't know that one.

But I use 3 different ones of the type with Windows 7 64 bit.

No problem.

Regards
Morten

Ok, do you also have product names, links, article number or something else to show me the ones you use?

At home I use some cheap (from Aldi) Zolid USB 2.0 Ide and S-Ata Cable and an old Sandberg Aluline USB 2.0 Hi-Speed 3,5" box.

At work I have something more serious. If I remember, I will post the name tomorrow.

I guess almost everything will work, when one keep in mind the (low) quality of the devices, I use.

Delock converter SATA/IDE - eSATA/USB 2.0

Thanks again!

Hi,

I bought this one with IDE, SATA and eSATA connector.

25 euro including power adapter, all the cables needed, and (last but not least!) no additional software or drivers needed.
Works like a charm; in half an hour i 'mounted' 12 IDE disks and labeled them.
