PSATA IDE Ultra ATA 100/133 To SATA Converter Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to say that I was able to get this adapter to work in the Intel D865GBF, D865GLC and D875PBZ series of motherboards -- this is the important part to note, this adapter will ONLY work when plugged into the back of an IDE hard drive or DVD/CDROM device! This device is only meant to convert in that direction only. If you try to plug it into a motherboard's 40pin IDE port hoping that it will convert to SATA hard drives or DVD/CDROMs, it will NOT do that! There is a different adapter sold on amazon that has two SATA connectors, one for each direction if you intend to have a bi-directional adapter.

Here are two important TIPs, make sure the connector is plugged in over all 40 IDE pins, I have made the mistake more then once of not centering the plug over all 40 pins and be off by one column and therefore causing it to not work. The second one is probably more crucial, the pins on the back of the board almost butt up and make contact to the hard drives metal case -- which if it does that, it will short circuit the power supply and cause it to blow or short circuit!! What I recommend is that you put some electrical tape on the back side to cover the exposed metal pins so it wont make contact to the hard drive case. Or you can just make sure you dont plug the IDE connector all the way in, leaving a small gap -- but this may prevent the data pins from making full contact if you do this...You can also use non-conductive anti-static foam or bag to create a protective barrier.

Addonics ADIDESA 150 Mbps IDE to Serial ATA Converter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed the card in less than five minutes on the back of my IDE ATA hard drive and used all the cables that came with it and BINGO it converted it to a Serial ATA Drive.
When I got my new Dell desktop, I could not use my new 250BG IDE ATA hard drive because I did not have any IDE ATA sockets available.
Dell recommended using an IDE to SATA converter.
WHAT A GREAT card!!!
