Technical Details
1. Model Name: MHV2080AT
2. Manufacturer: Initio Corporation
3. Interface: USB (Universal Serial Bus)
4. Connectivity: Supports USB 2.0
5. Connector: Internal for one hard disk (Type AT)
6. Compatibility: USB host controllers and hard disk drives running on the IDE/ATA protocol
Features
1. USB 2.0 Support: The MHV2080AT uses USB 2.0 for data transfers, allowing a maximum theoretical transfer rate of up to 480 MB/s.
2. IDE/ATA support: The adapter allows IDE/ATA hard drives to be connected to a USB port. This allows older IDE hard drives to be used in modern computers that only offer USB ports.
3. Hot-swappable: The adapter often supports hot-swapping, allowing you to plug and unplug devices without having to restart the computer (depending on implementation).
4. Plug-and-play: Simply plug into a USB port with no additional drivers required (except under certain operating systems).
5. Compatibility: Often compatible with various operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux, although certain drivers may be required for optimal functionality.
Application range
1. Data Transfer: Ideal for transferring data from an older IDE hard drive to a modern computer via USB. This is useful if you want to back up old data or transfer it to a new hard drive.
2. Data Recovery: Useful for recovering data from older IDE hard drives, especially if the main computer no longer has IDE ports.
3. Temporary Connection: Suitable for temporarily connecting IDE hard drives for occasional access or backups.
4. Backup Solutions: Can be used to use IDE hard drives as external backup drives.
Physical Specifications
1. Size and Form Factor: Varies by model, typically a compact form factor that plugs directly into a free USB port or designed as an internal module for hard drives.
2. Power Supply: Typically powered by the USB port itself, although some models may require additional power connections for the hard drive.
Additional Details
- Drivers: You may need to install specific drivers to get the most out of the adapter. These are often available on the manufacturer's website or included in the box.
- Performance: Performance may be limited by USB 2.0 bandwidth, especially when handling very large amounts of data.
The Initio MHV2080AT USB Device is a handy tool for connecting IDE hard drives via USB, and is particularly suitable for users who want to use older drives in modern systems.
