Planning on making external hard drive, but screwed up

So I ordered a new hard drive from Tiger Direct. Problem is it's a S-ATA drive, must have accidently clicked that instead of the ATA drive.

I can't seem to find any hard drive enclosures that will support a SATA drive. Note I don't have a compatible motherboard so I can't just replace one of my drives.

Is there an adapter I can use?

Thank you.

 

There is no adapter you can use, but you can buy a SATA controller card that fits into a PCI slot to add SATA ports to your board.

 

That might just be the solution I'm looking for. They're pretty damned expensive though.

 

Could anybody be a dear and help me find some sweet enclosures for a SATA drive?

 

What do you mean by enclosures? Like just a little box to install a drive into but that is outside the comp? Or do you mean a removable HD tray. Either way an enclosure would not have anything to do with giving you SATA support. You'd still need to add that to a computer before either of the other options would work.

 

Yeah, to make an external hard drive. I've ordered the SATA controller card. So I've got support now.

 

Easy too find!

Most of those are portable racks.

I'm looking for one that has both a USB 2.0 connection and a SATA connection in back.

There is a sata/usb2 drive case there^^
