You can get an adaptor but there are no performance benefits and I dont think you can lock the SATA drive.

Well, then he would need two adaptors, right? Since the WD probably does'nt use 4-pin molex.

Most SATA drives have native support for both 4pin molex and the 5pin (or however many pins) SATA connector. They only have one connector the SATA though. There's really no point in it though.. IDE (PATA) drives are cheaper and are lockable and.. well.. they're old school more or less. I like em.

I get the distinct feeling you dont believe me, I have never used one as I consider them pointless, as pointed out the Pata are generally cheaper.

A google search found THIS as well as others.

edit.

First link was SATA controller to IDE not IDE to SATA
