Serial ATA or EIDE Hard Drive Adapter and Converter Support

WD does not provide support for drives that are plugged into adapters.

  • An EIDE drive should be plugged into to the motherboard with an 80-wire Ultra ATA 100 IDE cable.
  • A SATA drive should be plugged into to the motherboard with a Serial ATA cable.
  • A PCI add-on card may be installed to allow for more EIDE or SATA hard drives to be plugged in.

Contact the maker of the third-party adapter for support.
