So I have an Apple Power Macintosh G3, which has a 6gb hard drive. I believe it is IDE, but it may not be. I also have an old SATA drive. I was wondering if there was an adapter or converter to make the black female end into a SATA male data cable. I know where I can get a Molex to SATA power cable, but idk if there is an adapter for this... if there is and you find one, if you could please link it for me.

Thanks in advance! :D

There is the cable

I need this to be internal... is there an internal adapter

So you have a IDE HDD and a SATA HDD? The SATA one don't need any adapters, just plug that to your motherboard. IDE HDD will need this

For this adapter, you will need to provide power to the adapter as well as your HDD.
