Parallel ATA (PATA), originally AT Attachment, also known as Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), is a standard interface designed for IBM PC -compatible computers. It was first developed by Western Digital and Compaq in 1986 for compatible hard drives and CD or DVD drives.

2023年6月22日 · IDE, an acronym for Integrated Drive Electronics, is a standard type of connection for storage devices in a computer. Generally, IDE refers to the types of cables and ports used to connect some hard drives and optical drives to each other and to the motherboard. An IDE cable, then, is a cable that meets this specification.

The IDE2SAT2 40-pin IDE to SATA adapter enables you to connect a SATA I/II/III drive to an available IDE/ATA 33/66/100/133 motherboard port. The IDE/SATA adapter offers a cost-effective solution for bridging the gap between a newer 2.5"/3.5"/5.25" SATA drive and older IDE motherboard port.

2022年6月6日 · ATA/IDE cable. The IDE interface requires only one cable. All pins straight from 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and so on. The drives can be connected in any order. Only remember that one should be jumpered as Master and the other as Slave. If only one drive is used, jumper it as Single (if such a mode exists, or most common Master else).

2023年10月8日 · The primary function of an IDE connector is to establish a connection between your computer’s motherboard and IDE devices, such as hard drives or optical drives. These connectors ensure a secure and reliable transfer of data and power between the …

2024年11月20日 · An IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cable is a parallel data cable used to connect storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and optical drives, to a computer’s motherboard or controller card.

1973年9月4日 · This 18in dual drive IDE cable lets you connect two ATA 66/100/133 drives to a computer IDE port, as Master and Slave drives. This high quality flat ribbon-style IDE cable is the ideal solution for connecting hard disk drives, CD-ROMs, Tape Backup drives, Zip drives, DVD-ROM, or any ATA peripheral to your IDE capable computer.

An IDE interface is an industry-standard adapter for connecting IDE devices and enabling them to communicate with each other. At one time, most computers included at least one IDE interface built into the motherboard. The interface provided a 40-pin connector for attaching an IDE hard disk drive to the computer. A flat ribbon cable connected ...

2024年12月31日 · IDE cables typically connect to devices using a 40-pin connector, which includes a notch to ensure correct orientation. The devices connected via IDE can be configured as either Master or Slave. The Master device typically takes priority in terms of the system’s BIOS detection and is usually the primary storage drive for the operating system.

IDE connectors, like floppy drive and other connectors, are keyed to ensure proper connection. Connect your IDE devices to the motherboard IDE connectors, taking care to assign these to give optimal performance for your particular system configuration.
