Thread: Hard Drive that is the EIDE Interface

I have a HP PC with 2300gig Hard-drive they are SATA, I have a 3rd Hard Drive that is the EIDE Interface, I desire to add this Hard Drive to my PC, I want to install in internally. How can this be done, is there an adapter or connector wire I can use?

All right, what kind of motherboard do you have? If you your mb support sata then extra than probable that it will not support EIDE. 2 yrs and earlier comps don't have EIDE build in any longer. Open your case and seem to see if you have an EIDE port.

Google it to see what it looks like if you don't identify. Pretend that your MB doesn't support EIDE. In that case you'll buy an EIDE card. A simpler way out is to get a Sata/EIDE to usb adaptor and utilize it as an external hard driver.
