Introduction

FWBU2EIDE525D-1 is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for ATAPI ODD (Optical Disk Drive)
- CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, tape drive, and hard disk drive. It allows IDE drives (Master and Slave) to be connected to a FireWire (IEEE 1394) or USB serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.

FWBU2EIDE525D-1 allows users to easily hot-swap IDE drive without interrupting the current operation.
FWBU2EIDE525D-1 provides the perfect solution for data backup and transferring of data between computers using IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.
