I got an old IDE HDD laying around that I'd like to be able to hook up to a computer for storage. I would prefer to have some sort of dock but not sure if they exist for IDE drives....saw a lot for SATA.

If a device doesn't exist then I can always got the external case route.

Thanks!
 
No such docks for IDE because IDE drives don't have a standard location of the power and data connectors. Also, of course, Windows XP and later doesn't know how to hot-swap IDE drives without help from special software and hardware.
