See my previous message regarding kernel messages.

The converter has a brick power supply that provides power to IDE drives.
Separately, the converter hub is a USB 2.0 interface with two USB connectors.
One of them provides bus power to SATA drives; the other USB plug is a
straight-through connector that communicates with the hard drive that's
plugged into the hub.

You can see one of these adapters at:

Thanks for your help.
