IDE to Sata/USB?

[haz_pro]

Hi all,

I have an old IDE hard drive of which I would like to move its contents onto my new PC.

My new PC has only sata and usb ports; I have had a look on the internet about how to get these files off but I have seen conflicting opinions.

Please can someone advise on what exactly I need to buy to achieve this?

thanks,
Harry

Try and find an old external hdd caddy, i have some un-named thing that supports both ide/sata drives and converts them to usb/esata.

just google IDE to SATA and buy one of the adapters, if you want to use it internally.

If you must do it via USB then search for USB to IDE and it comes up with a load of, more expensive, options.
