That's called an IDE cable, or PATA.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I don't know if IDE to SATA exists? But probably.

They do but they require some cable jankery. An IDE to USB would be a lot more convenient.

Well what if it is USB like this one? https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Drive-Adapter-Converter-External/dp/B00BIE996S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1547401474&sr=8-2-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=IDE+to+usb&psc=1

I believe that would work, it has independent power and data which are usually required for these hard drives.

I use a usb hard drive adapter. Runs 12-15 bucks at microcenter. It has a desktop ide, laptop ide, and sata plug. It also comes with a wall wart and adapter to power drives.

 

They do make a reversible ide to sata adapter, and a laptop to desktop ide adapter. The ide to sata adapters are flaky at best and using a combination of two adapters is not advisable. Can it be done? Definitely, but it is expensive and silly.

That is what I've used for years.
