You should just get an adapter, I use two of them to connect cheap 1.5TB drives, they work like a charm. They should cost around 10 Dollars. ATA-drives are mostly 500GB max. and cost the same as much bigger SATA-drives. My SATA drives connected via the adapters are quieter than my ATA drives and as fast if not faster.
