Hey all,
I have an external USB Imation LS-120, the M2 model (not the best one but not the worst either) that i use on my main modern computer
The drive was working fine but suddently had issue, it would never get recognized correctly by the computer (it was just saw as a generic USB device and nothing would shows up)
For those who don't knows, internally it's an IDE drive with an USB bridge, and the drive is working perfectly fine on an older computer with IDE, so it's the USB bridge that failed/died
What would be the best adapter if i want to use this drive internally on my computer that does not support IDE ?
Is it better to go with a IDE to SATA adapter or get an IDE to USB adater that i can then hook to one of the internal USB header ?
I tried to do some research but got mixed results (some saying that IDE to SATA does not work, some say it does, it think it was linked to ATAPI support) but i look for confirmation to be sure
Thx
