usb <--> ide drive adapter?




Can anyone recommend a usb/ide adapter similar to:
http://tinyurl.com/35d4gt
( that is a newegg link for:
CABLES UNLIMITED USB-2100 USB 2.0 to IDE Cable With Power
if someone is afraid of tinyurl .. )

That adapter was recognized on my Fedora FC6 system, but it
could never talk to the hard drive. I have a different type
of usb/ide adapter that works, but it's from part of a
external USB 5.25. drive case and I want to mount this
internally, so I need something that just plugs into the
back of a 3.5" drive.... like the one pictured... just one
that works well with linux...

Does anyone have one that they recommend?

Actually... I am mounting a 5.25" removable drive tray in my
linux box but instead of removoable IDE ( that I don't really
trust ) I want it to be a removable USB type drive. I can do
that with my external usb drive adapter, but I want to mount
this setup inside my case.

Thanks - jack
