HELP! Where can I find a store that sells a PATA to SATA Converter in New Jersey, DC or Maryland? (NOT ONLINE)

Question

I have 6 more days in the country and I really need to buy a Pata to Sata HDD converter in a store! It can be near Washington DC, in Maryland, or in New Jersey, near Basking Ridge (07924). I don't think I can get it on ebay, amazon or another online shopping in such short notice. I have 2 more days in New Jersey and 4 in Maryland, please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

MicroCenter sells them for about $16.  There are two MicroCenter stores in the DC area, one in Rockville, MD, and another (slightly larger) in Fairfax, VA:

Federal Plaza

1776 E. Jefferson #203

Rockville, MD 20852

The store is on the west side of Rockville Pike, north of Montrose Road)

Pan Am Plaza

3089 Nutley Street

Fairfax, VA 22031

This store is off I-66 at the Nutley Street exit (first exit outside the Washington Beltway).

They also have a store in Patterson New Jersey, if that's more convenient for  you:

Route 20 Retail Center

Rt. 20N at  I-80

263 McLean Blvd.

Paterson, NJ 07504

Here is the converter.  (It's called a SATA-IDE converter, but I assume you realize that PATA and IDE are the same thing.)  You might want to call the store to make sure they have it in stock before you go there.
