₹300.00
The IDE connector, short for Integrated Drive Electronics connector, is a crucial component in computer systems, particularly for connecting storage devices such as hard drives and CD/DVD drives. Typically featuring a 40-pin or 44-pin configuration, the IDE connector enables data transfer between the motherboard and the storage device
. This interface was widely used in older computer systems before the advent of more advanced technologies like SATA (Serial ATA). The IDE connector is characterized by its large, flat ribbon cables that can support multiple drives through a master/slave configuration. Despite being largely replaced by newer standards, understanding the IDE connector remains essential for those interested in the history of computer hardware and the evolution of data transfer methods in technology.
