StarTech.com 40ピンIDE - SATA HDD/光学ドライブ変換アダプタ IDE2SAT2

旧式3.5インチを２．５インチHDDを変更に使用した 動作良好でした

想在舊電腦上，猶其是 DOS 環境用 sata 光碟機，就一定要找這個專門的轉接卡才行！不然讀取會一直出問題。接光碟的話，不只是要選插 M/S/C 的跳線，那個 ACD 跳線也要插上。轉卡上的插座排列可能要注意，也許會感覺整線不太容易。

Najważniejsze, że ze starym kontrolerem IDE nowy napęd DVD działa, co prawda jeden - tak jakby przejściówka zapisywała sobie go (ten pierwszy napęd podpięty do niej) w pamięci i już żadnego innego nie chciała rozpoznać (jakaś metoda na jej reset?).

I've used a few of these in Windows 98 gaming PCs that only support IDE. It means that all of the SATA HDD's I have lying around can be installed in these retro systems, as IDE drives are hard to find and overpriced these days. There are some operating system and hardware limitations of your retro system if you wish to use larger SATA drives, so be prepared to use something like Seatools to "trick" your larger SATA drive into thinking it's only 128GB/137GB in capacity for Win98 usage for example.. I've tried cheap ebay copies of this item and they are intermittent, it's not worth the hassle, spend the money on this for a reliable and great experience ;-)

Fast and easy to install. Works great for Sun Netra X1. Use power cable from adapter into the motherboard, as extensions/separators might not work.

I used this with a SATA HDD to upgrade an IDE based audio recorder (Yamaha AW1600). It worked well with the two drives I tested. These were a Vertex 2 SATA II 60GB and a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB. Having tried two other SATA to IDE interfaces, this was the only one I found that worked properly in my particular scenario. The other interfaces I tried either did not work fully or were very slow. I have not done exhaustive testing but it does appear that this is a very good product.

OK
