⚙️ Fit Notes

• Confirm your system uses a 2.5-inch 44-pin IDE / PATA hard drive before ordering
• This adapter is not for SATA hard drive bays
• This adapter is not for 1.8-inch ZIF / CE-ATA drives unless your system has been converted to a 44-pin 2.5-inch IDE connection
• This adapter is not a direct replacement for desktop 3.5-inch 40-pin IDE drives without the proper additional adapter and power connection
• Confirm the 10mm adapter height will fit your drive bay, caddy, or mounting bracket
• The mSATA SSD must be installed into the adapter before the adapter is installed into the computer
• Some older systems may have BIOS capacity limits such as 32GB or 137GB; use an SSD size and partition layout your system can support
• Some systems may require IDE master, slave, or cable-select behavior; verify system requirements before installation
• ThinkPad T43 / T43p systems may display a hard drive compatibility warning depending on BIOS and drive identification
• Older PowerPC Mac systems may require Apple Partition Map formatting for boot support
• Operating system cloning, partition alignment, and bootloader setup may be required after installation
• Professional installation is recommended for systems with fragile drive caddies, ribbon connectors, or machine-control equipment
• Always power down the system, disconnect AC power, and follow proper ESD safety procedures before installation
