I think you are headed in the wrong direction .......... my previous experience is getting all these adapters to work is a nightmare and full of incompatabilities


the real dependable solution is to use a "naked" USB enclosure ........ dont mount the drives and dont put the skin on the enclosure....... then you can swap rahter quickly ....... your method now would require a system shutdown and restart each time you want to add or change a drive ........ YUCK .........provided you can get all these adapters to work ....... IDE cables need "jumpers" to make drives share one IDE channel......... sata drives dont like jumpers ...... they want to be solo on the channel ...... there is your dilemma ?
