Does anyone know of a locally available USB to SATA/IDE adapter than can handle 1Tb drives? Preferably running off external power.

I used to have a USB2 to SATA/IDE and kept meaning to replace it. I'm not so concerned if I can't get USB 3 support but I can't seem to locate any around that can support the larger HD's. If anyone knows of a supplier I would be very grateful.

Does it have to be an adapter? There are all sorts on TM.

I've got one of these and have used with 2TB HDDs with no issues:

Yes, it has to be an adapter :-)

Thanks guys! This is exactly what I need. Great to know it handles the large drives. Cheers.

do you need IDE? is a dock (not enclosure) suitable rather than an adaptor?

i use these at work: http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=ENCWEL0602&name=Welland-Turbo-Leopard-ME-601S-3.5-SATA-to-US...
