4.0 out of 5 stars 39 pin connector not 40, May 28, 2010

Many of the cable manufactures (like this one) have converted to making the female connector with only 39 pin holes to match the newer male pin config. However some older systems still have all 40 male pins in the IDE connectors, making these 39 pin female connector cables non-compatible. So if you're updating an older system, replacing parts, or just giving it a complete over-haul be advised, the IDE cables need to be checked closely before you just toss them.

I purchased an internal storage hard drive and the OEM cable did not have connections for an additional drive. Purchasing this cable allowed me to install the additional hard drive with ease without missing a beat.

Got all 6 on time and they work fine- no complaints.What should I do with the ~ $50 I saved.......... The name brand was about 6 times more expensive.
