Does anyone know where I can get a usb2 to ide converter. I want to use an old hard drive as portable storage and this would be ideal. I realise that the hard disk won't be able to draw its power from the usb but this isn't a problem for me.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Is there any real advantage to firewire over usb2? I have both on my pc but if i took it elsewhere usb is more universal.
Presumably a usb 2 device like this would still work plugged in to usb1 just slower?

lee thanks for the offer.
The vipower site mentions cd drives. Will this setup definitely run an ide hard disk?
Also is there a power supply for the disk?
How used is it?
email me if you prefer
