I found them to be hit or miss so for IDE, I just go get some IDE drive.
Hi...I have an old pc which is of the 3.5 ide hard drive type but the old drive I have is now useless - is it possible to use a 2.5 sata type hard drive via some type of connector to run the computer please ? Sorry if this seems a basic question but I`m not conversant with the inner workings of computers and have been using laptops for some years now - this is an old machine that I want to use for running some projects on and if it can be put to use,so be it.
Hope you can help,
Thanks,
