I often need to test internal hard drives for my job. In the IDE era, I have an adapter for 3.5″ PATA hard drive and an adapter for 2.5″ PATA hard drive. With USB to PATA(IDE) adapters, I can connect those internal hard drives to a computer using a USB cable. Now that almost all internal hard drives are SATA. I need to find adapters for SATA drives.
