The USB 2.0 to IDE Cable Version 2

USB IDE adapter

Need a quick way to get that IDE/ATA-based drive rolling in your system, or just don't have any more spare room to cram one in there? Enter the USB 2.0 to IDE Cable Version 2. It, uh, pretty much does what it says, adapting your internal hard drive (2.5-inch and 3.5-inch, etc.) for external use (only temporarily, we hope). The Gadgeteer took it for a test drive and found it to be pretty useful for $35. Hardware tweakers, mount up.
