Hey i just built a computer and have an SSD and an SATA hard drive connected at the moment. I have an older IDE hard drive i would like to hook up and transfer the contents to the SATA hard drive. I am looking at this IDE drive and wondering what I need to connect it to, is this IDE cable connector slot neccesary or do i only have to connect to the jumper pins and power supply. Then where do i go from there to the board? a SATA slot?
Installing ATA hard drive?

Does the motherboard you have, have an IDE port? If not, then you need to get one of these.
