Product Overview

The StarTech 1 Port PCIe IDE Controller Adapter Card (PEX2IDE) is engineered to provide seamless integration between newer PCI Express-enabled systems and legacy IDE drives. This adapter card allows for continued use of older storage hardware such as HDDs and optical drives, helping reduce system upgrade costs and extend the lifespan of critical legacy equipment. With one IDE port and a PCI Express x1 interface, it offers a reliable wired connection that fits into small form factor systems due to its compact size: 0.9 inch in width, 2 inches in depth, and 4.7 inches in height.

Designed for professional and industrial environments, the card is TAA-compliant and RoHS-certified, ensuring it meets rigorous industry standards for trade agreements and environmental safety. Its bright yellow enclosure offers easy identification, and its lifetime support from StarTech ensures long-term confidence in deployment. Ideal applications include maintaining legacy-built workstations, data recovery setups, or embedded systems where IDE functionality remains essential.

This controller card fills a critical compatibility gap as modern systems increasingly phase out IDE support. By enabling continued use of existing hardware within updated infrastructures, it delivers high return on investment and system resilience where backward compatibility is paramount.
