    I'm looking for a sata and IDE adaptor for reading both types of drivers. Can anyone recommend a source for one that they are happy with. I'd rather it connect to a pc through USB but it doesn't have to.

    Thanks.

    Along the same lines, anyone know where you could get an ext 2.5" enclosure that would do both IDE and SATA in the same unit ?

    Avoid Maplins.. price is 45 euro and up, the model they have is fairly buggy too. Sadly, I bought it.

    This is it:
