New Guy, Hard Drive Question...

[Gabriel Escobar]

Hello everyone, new here. Very informative site and I apologize if this has been asked before. I just bought a newer pc and wanted to install an older IDE style HD into the new system just for extra storage (not to dual boot).. My new system is fully SATA style. Can you point me to an adapter to convert this older style IDE HD to work on a SATA system. Most adapters I've come across have the same male connectors my IDE drive has, hence they wont fit onto the HD I need something to fit onto the IDE drive (female connector) and allow me to plug into the motherboard. Any suggestions?
