USB to SATA/IDE Combo Kit

Posted on: August 01, 2007



USB to SATA/IDE Combo Kit

Brando has just made available the USB to SATA/IDE Combo Kit that enables you to hook up SATA/IDE devices to your computer using the humble USB port, making this an essential peripheral if you're constantly out of office and perform lots of data transfer, backup, and cloning services. Since it uses the high speed USB 2.0 interface, installation is made easy with Plug and Play. Virtually all SATA/IDE devices such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD RW, 1.8", 2.5", and 3.5" hard drives are supported. You can pick up the USB to SATA/IDE Combo Kit for $29. Make sure you select the right power cable before making your purchase in order to avoid disappointment when the package arrives at your home.

Downside is that the IDE/EIDE limit is 400Mb vs. 750Mb for SATA/SATA II.

This device has Max transfer rate of 480Mbps. The "USB 2.0 To SATA/IDE Adapter With One Touch Backup" has transfer rates up to 1500Mbytes/sec using the SATA interface.

Price of $29 vs. $40. For me, the extra $11 is worth it as SATA drives takeover the market.
