USB 2.0 to IDE Hard Drive / ATAPI CONVERTER ADAPTER CABLE

Tired of buying expensive external hard-disks.... here is an easy way. You can buy this serial adapter - USB to IDE/ Sata which will enable you to connect normal internal harddisks (which are quite cheap to buy compared to external ones) and treat it like an external. The cable may cost around Kshs 1000, but this depends where you buy in Nairob.

Many semiconductor companies have chips that do the conversion between IDE and USB and simplify the way you can connect an IDE device on USB.
