Hey i was wondering if anyone makes a 2.5inch ide to SATA converter just like the 3.5inch PATA to SATA converters found on newegg (rosewill stuff)

reason i ask is ima getting a broken laptop (screen is broken) but the rest is good and i wanna use the lappy hd in my silent server (speed isnt critical) and i figured if it was a PATA lappy hd id have to buy a 2.5 to 3.5 converter anyways and if they made something similar but a converter from PATA to SATA cableing would be nicer haha.

Google time.

ya i kno i could always do that but it sorta defeats the purpose haha. i mean ima have to buy a converter if the hd is a PATA, but it would be nice if they went straight from 2.5 to sata in one converter.. (it would be tight if it was sata to start with but highly unlikely)
