Usb to ide hard drive connector5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I have no intention to use this as a full time device. My goal with this is to take an extra hard drive I have and 1-2 times a month hook it up and transfer photos and backup data for storage. The basic reasons I want to try this is because I like to tinker, I have the extra parts laying around, and why should I pay for something I can make myself? Take a connector from a 12V PC component, a power adapter that outputs 12V and connect them, right? Is there a way I can take a USB cable and rig it to work with a regualr IDE cable. Has anyone ever attempted to make one? I can figure out the power part easy enough. I've seen the IDE to USB adapter cables you can buy to hook a regular drive up externally for file transfers.
