    old ATA/IDE drive on OSX

    I got an old enclosure with an ATA/IDE drive with WinXP on it and many files. Im connecting it on OSX but no drive no nothing... could the drive be bad or is it some software issue that will not allow me to see the drive? In disk utility there is nothing seen... strange?

    Can Thunderbolt pass ATA commands to attached HDDs?

    Hi, Does anyone know if a SATA drive connected via an eSATA adapter to a Thunderbolt port can successfully receive and act upon ATA commands? So: SATA -> eSATA -> Thunderbolt -> MacBook Pro. I'm primarily thinking of using the Sanitize Device command.
