2.5 to 3.5 ide convertor

[need2knowmore]

Hi,
Would you please give some more details about what is the different between LGH-IDE-K and HX-IDE-K adapter? I saw HX-IDE-K adapter on website and I order it and when I got it, it is LGH-IDE-K. I attached my 2.5" laptop IDE to my desktop but it didn't work at all. Even didn't saw in computer BIOS. Need help on this please.
Thanks

A lot of those types of adapters don't work very well. This is what you should have gotten.

It comes in very handy. I've used mine quite a bit. You can use that adapter to connect 2.5" and 3.5" IDE hard drives and any Sata hard drive.
