Having had poor results with IDE to SATA converters in the past, I was skeptical about this one. However, this adapter really works! Installation was easy for Vista with no problems. Packaging included a cable adapter which made it possible to use this adapter even if you had no SATA connectors on your Power Supply. I have been running a SATA Hdd for over a month with no problems. My system was an older Dell Dimension 2400 with no SATA connectors on the motherboard and no power supply SATA connectors.
Works great with Windows 10 version 1709 and Samsung SATA internal HDD
Thing just works
Works as expected. You'll need at 12V power supply (not included) with a barrel connector if you are connecting to a 3.5" HDD. Received in the US direct from China 14 days after order.
Works. Cable is long enough for my app. Seems to be a quality product. Price is good.
Installing 2 2.5" hard drives was quick and simple took less than 10 minutes and was up an running
This worked right out of the package with a Silicon Power SATA SSD and two very old scopes with Intel motherboards with i845 and i865 chipsets. On the adapter, there are two switches to set the IDE port to master/slave/CS and it ships with the default to master. The adapter is powered by a floppy disc type power connector, and a Molex cable adapter is supplied if your PSU cabling does not have a FDD power plug.
Allowed me to mount my 2 SSD drives
Using this to host a SAMSUNG 960 EVO SSD in a PCIe 3.0 slot. Amazingly fast.
