• No, PATA (Parallel ATA) is a completely different format than SATA (Serial ATA). The Dynex - 3.5" Serial ATA Hard Drive Enclosure is specifically designed to support SATA drives only. The PATA generation is old technology, but external hard drive enclosures are still available for the PATA format. Check this link for information on a PATA external drive enclosure: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-source-drive-enclosure-external-silver/1305628944.p?id=mp1305628944&skuId=1305628944
