Can this adapter be used to connect an HP hard drive to a USB SATA adapter to retrive files from the HP hard drive?

It will only work if the adapter is needed to connect the hard drive to the computer port

no you need Sabrent Ultra Slim USB 2.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA External Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure [Black] (EC-UK25)

No. This is simply the adapter that they use to convert from regular ide to their connector in the laptop. I would recommend the following from adapter eforcity - this will cover all of your needs. Just copy and paste the following into amazon search bar. "eForCity USB 2.0 To SATA IDE 3.5 2.5 Hard Drive Adapter Cable" I have a couple of these and many others from same vendor with fast, excellent service.

If its a 2.5mm SATA. It should work.I would check with HP first since you will have to contact Windows to re-sync your Windows copy with the new Hard drive

Yes. I used it in a HP Pavilion Elite M9340F desktop PC to replace a standard Sata harddrive.

Yes. The SATA connector actually has 2 parts. The first, the data connector, is the smaller of the two. The second, the power connector, is the wider one. This adapter includes both data and power adapters to allow connection to this type of drive.

In a word NO. The SATA connector on the adapter is just a standard eSATA connector and not an eSATAp connector and therefore has no power pins. Therefore the adaptor only works one way. It only works for connecting an eSATA device to the computers USB 3.0 port. It will not work for connecting a USB3 device to the eSATAp port on your computer

No, the power adapter is for the IDE/laptop hard drives. I have recovered data from SATA drives without the adapter in place although I normally leave it connected for convenience sake.

Yes. The adapter I received is compatible. However, it was not the same as what is pictured. I have recently purchased a new bigger Western Digital drive and the adapter that came with it is the same as what I was sent.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

..yes, the adapter have three input connectors, and are used for SATA and IDE , has a power supply cable connector too., plus the USB.

I don't believe so. It basically lets you connect a functional HD to a USB port on a PC.

Yes. I actually recently had to use the power from an older computer to get power to a old laptop drive and then hooked the USB adapter right to my computer worked perfect. I would not recommend doing it as a regular thing though.

Yes. This will connect to any SATA hard drive and connect it to a USB port in a laptop.

I bought two types of adapters. I did not use this one. I used the HDE SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter shown for $6.50. I used it to connect a SATA Optical DVD player to the IDE cable. It worked fine. I would expect it to work with a SATA SSD Go to http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B002Y2NI4M/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405960951&sr=1-2&keywords=HDE%C2%AE+SATA+to+IDE%2FIDE+Adapter&dpPl=1

This adapter needs power from a computer power supply and is intended to be used inside a desktop computer case. You might be able to rig something, but I would say it's better to buy a USB hard drive adapter that supports IDE.

Yes you should be able too. I will warn you that you still need to have power to the HDD as well as the small four pin power connector on the adapter.

I was able to get a couple of different USB-powered hard drives to work with the adapter. Different drives require different amounts of power, though, so I can't say it would work with your drive. I would guess that it probably would, though.

No reason why it should not. Your HP should see it just like any other drive, provided your USB port is functioning properly.
