can I use this in a sata docking station.

Even If the hardware was a match that would allow data transmission, my bet is it would last as long as it was never handled again. This item breaks upon its own weight disbursement. If you held this connection upside down its broke. I had Zero luck with the 3 i purchased at the same time, I got it to work for all of 10 min before the sata connection broke from the strength of the sata cable. Perhaps fastened down to a dock or glued into a housing would help, but i cannot recommend this hardware. It lacks any durability in its own design. - Good luck

I'm not sure. I got a new computer but there is only sata connector on motherboard so I wanted use this adapter to connect sata to IDE but it does not work with my computer.

With a sata connection yes. It doesn't give you the most available memory you can use, unless you spend far more money on a higher capacity model and currently that will be very expensive. Just something to keep in mind.

Yes! It works beautifully in a low profile case. I use it with a USB 3.0 Thermaltak SATA HD dock, and backup my 1.5 TB HD in minutes. You'll love it!

Don't know - sorry - I am using mine as an external (e-sata) attached to a desktop.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

This drive has a SATA interface, I don't know if you might be able to get an adapter.

NO. The interface SATA is incompatible with ATA in your desktop. I suggest you to buy a new computer, don't waste the money on this part.

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

If you are just plugging it into the SATA connector on the motherboard it does not matter. They are all the same, any open one will work. Just make sure that you are plugged into the correct connection on the adapter.

Not likely - this is a _mini_ SATA connector, not a full size SATA connector.

According to the product description listed with the item:"Unique design allows any 2.5/3.5in IDE hard drive to be used and inserted (upright) into a SATA HDD docking station or duplicator drive bayBacked by a StarTech 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical supportSupports 40-pin (3.5in) and 44-pin (2.5in) IDE hard drives"If you're drive meets these specs it should work. I no longer have the unit since I opted for a dual bay external dock.

Yes. The SATA ports are hot pluggable. The eSATA should be too but I haven't tested it.

this would be a PATA drive to my knowledge. SATA has a small slot style connector instead of all the pins

I, I believe that some of the SATA cable has the power connections built into them and some don't. If you have an power connector off to one side I would say it should work.

Absolutely. I mounted him inside a standard HD bay using some screws and little rubber feet. Connects in 10 seconds using standard SATA data connection and standard power. You may want to get some adapter rails to mount it inside your HD bay.

I am using it just for that. I have the eSATA side connected to the exterior eSATA port in the back to an internal SATA HD inside the case. THe SATA HD is powered by the SATA Power connector.

I've used this in a desktop, but the form factor is the same of the others 2.5", just slightly slimmer, it should fit in any 2.5" sata bay. You can find the exact dimensions on the vendor though
