SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5" Hard Disk Drive

It's working with og Xbox.

古い PC の再生のために使用しました。 HDD は WD RED Plus 1TB です。 PC 側には PATA のインターフェイスしかなかったので、新しい HDD を使用するために使用しました。 ジャンパーピンでマスター・スレーブを切り替えることができます。 マスター、スレーブの両方のパターンで動作させる必要があったためそれぞれ使用してみましたが、特に問題なく使用できました。 以下使用時の注意点です。 ・基板むき出しなので、通電前に本商品が導通部分に触れていないかを確認しておく必要があります。 ・コネクターの構造上、SATA 側よりも PATA 側が固いです。接続時は PATA ケーブルに本商品を接続し、それから HDD の SATA コネクターに接続することになると思います。

I have a legacy circa 2005 Pentium 4 based system that I want to keep running as is because it has specialized software running on it that cannot be re-installed on a fresh OS. It's running Windows XP SP2. The motherboard, in addition to the IDE HDD ports, has 2 SATA I ports. These are on the VIA chipset and they do not downgrade a SATA II device or higher down to SATA I. It's SATA one or the ports don't work. At first I set the jumpers on a SATA II HDD to force SATA I mode and that did work. But then I wondered if using this adapter and running the IDE cable to the new SSD that I cloned the original HDD to would be faster than the HDD SATA I drive. The answer is yes, this adapter with the SSD on the IDE channel is faster. One thing that is very interesting is that the original drive and the SSD have 3 NTFS partitions on them. The 2nd and 3rd partitions run significantly faster than the OS partion in CrystalDiskMark. I even re-arranged the partitions so that the C: partitiion/boot is 40GB and only 7% used and the CrystalDiskMark results aren't any better, so I guess that was not the reason. I don't know why the partitions produce different speed results. But the adapter works great. You have to be somewhat careful not to break it but now I have a new drive with my specialized apps on a 20 year old Windows XP system and it should run fine and at least 3x faster for a long time... (Don't worry, it's not connected to the internet.)

sehr gutes teil, passt wunderbar und funktioniert einwandfrei

Ho acquistato questo adattatore per collegare un disco rigido SATA a una vecchia scheda madre con interfaccia IDE, con l’obiettivo di installare Windows 98SE. L'installazione è stata abbastanza semplice: ho collegato il disco SATA, fornito l’alimentazione e il BIOS l'ha riconosciuto senza problemi. L'installazione di Windows 98SE è andata a buon fine, anche se è stato necessario preparare il disco con una partizione FAT32 e utilizzare un disco di avvio MS-DOS per il setup. Il sistema funziona bene, ma la velocità di trasferimento è ovviamente limitata dall’interfaccia IDE. Se hai bisogno di far rivivere un vecchio PC e vuoi installare Windows 98SE su un disco SATA, questo adattatore è una buona soluzione. Consigliato per gli amanti del retrocomputing!

A lot of people would be looking for this item so they can upgrade the original Xbox with a sata hhd. This does work, however you will need to solder 101 and 103 SMD resistors to R4 and RH1 respective in order to get the max speed. If you’re not confident on soldering then its best to purchase the more expensive Startech.
