USB to SATA / IDE Adapter

[roomer]

May I get some advice where I can get an adapter for USB to/from SATA/IDE ?
I have some old harddrives (IDE and SATA) which I would like to connect to my new laptop to retrieve their data from.
Something like this I believe, but to get it on the cheap here in Singapore.
Thanks in advance.

Quite a number of shops are selling both USB3.0 & USB2.0 versions. USB3.0 cost over $39 while the USB2.0 goes for as low as $25.

Are you aware if they come with the power for IDE ? Or power for even SATA because my old HDD's 3.5", guess that requires external power ?

All these adapters do come with power adapter to provide both 5v and 12v supplies for 3.5" drive.
