Below is an image of what I bought.

Spoiler

I can't seem to figure how i'm supposed to get it to work and the seller on eBay offered no instructions.

Would anybody be able to help me out?

Thanks.

You could PM Inxy, or Nehkz.

Wait, what the fuck is that?

If you tell me what you want to use it for, I may be able to help.

Isn't SATA a hard drive company? If I'm not wrong it could be some sort of adapter to transfer information to drives.. That's my wild guess :3

Turns out I misread what I was buying and it doesn't do what I wanted it to do -.-

But i'm looking for something I can use to take all the data off of an old IDE HDD so I can put it on my new PC, It's just photos and stuff.

No, no it isn't. It's a type of data transfer cable for hard drives and disk drives, to put it simply.
