Does Exactly What it Should

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017

Just as it says on the label, this is an SD card to IDE adapter. Although not of much use on a modern PC, it's great for adding fast, reliable solid-state storage to an older machine. It had no problems being detected on my 1998-era Super Socket 7 motherboard, and functions well as either a primary OS disk, and secondary storage. Read/Write performance seems snappier, especially when compared to a mechanical hard drive.
Since SD cards are so cheap nowadays, it's almost trivial to add a few GB of storage to your PC. Imagine how much that would've cost back then! Anyways, keep in mind FAT16 only supports 4GB per volume, so you might not be able to use larger cards on DOS or older Windows installations. The reader comes with both a Berg (3.5" floppy) and Molex (PATA hard drive/peripheral) power connector, although it really only needs just the 5V bus to work. The Molex connector pins protrude quite some distance off the bottom of the board, so you'll probably need standoffs if you're mounting it to a metal panel. The card slot is a "push-push" type, meaning you push it to insert it, and push it again to pop it out, but it is possible to still pull it out (although it's probably not recommended) when it's clicked in.
Overall, a great card reader that works just as well as any IDE hard drive, but of course with much more capacity!

Worked (after using fdisk) for a late 90's Win98 restoration - READ THIS!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

This works, but you may need to try a few things first:

1. Make sure the BIOS sees this. It should see it as a non-branded compatible IDE hard drive.
2. Use the Windows CD's fdisk tool. Choose "boot with CD rom support" and type fdisk. Wipe the partitions off and create a new one (FAT32).
3. Install windows normally.

NOTES:

* Enable Large Disk Support when installing Windows. If you don't, it will cap at 500MB usable space and copying anything to it on another PC will immediately corrupt the entire installation.

* Remember, this is an SD card! You can shut down the PC, put it in a different PC, and use Win32DiskImager to rip an exact image of your Windows install to an .img file. Incremental backups will save your life!

* You can also copy files directly to the SD card, but make sure you safely eject it and have a working backup prior to attempting - I did have the Windows installation experience trouble after dumping tons of files to it one time.

* To reiterate - old PCs are sensitive and picky. You sometimes need to use THEM to format the card. Formatting it using another machine (FAT32) might not work.

* Also, don't attempt this for Windows XP or newer. It'll be on the slow side, but it will work. I say this because I feel an IDE to SATA adapter (with a cheap 60GB SSD) is a better fit with XP.

System won't boot from it , and it will not work as slave

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

My system (an old Gateway 486) will not boot from it. I have tried multiple different as cards, including small capacities. Fine, so I'll make it D:. Nope. It demands to run as master and will not run as a slave. There are no jumpers to set master/slave, and it does not respect cable select. You might want to tell this to your customers, so they don't end up like me and waste their time and money. The description would be a good place, methinks.

Paired with a "SanDisk 32GB Ultra Class 10 SDHC UHS-I Memory Card Up to 80MB, Grey/Black (SDSDUNC-032G-GN6IN) " SDHC card to speed up and have more silence on a Pentium III, 440BX chipset based vintage system, which only has IDE interfaces.
Installed Windows98SE on the SD card and the system now feels like having a SSD drive (of course it is not that fast, but feels snapier than a traditional IDE HDD) . The board works good so far (even after an accidentally dropping it from considerable height)
Definitely recommendable for vintage PC projects! Thank you "Phil's Computer Lab"!

This worked swimmingly for a Windows 98SE restoration.

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I picked up a free ancient tower, an HP Pavilion 4535 desktop. It worked as is, but I wanted to replace the loud and heavy hard drive with something less prone to failure. After being inspired by Lazy Game Reviews (LGR) on YouTube, I tried one of these and much to my surprise it worked well! There was a bit of trouble with setup, but that was mainly on me being unfamiliar with Fdisk and how to get the drive formatted properly for a Windows 98 SE installation. Now all the drivers are configured, the Unofficial Service Pack 3 is installed, and the games of my childhood are ready to play. Thanks Aneew! P.s. For those wondering, YES this card supports SDHC. I went 32GB for my build.

Doesn't work with my old Dell Dimension 2400

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Purchased adapter and 32GB SD-card as a low-cost replacement for old IDE hard drive and resurrect a circa-2004 desktop PC. I planned to use the old computer as a backup network file server and VPN for another old laptop. My old, circa-2005 Dell laptop is currently operating as a Lubuntu server with an IDE SSD as a replacement HD. The laptop's old HD finally wore out after 5 years running as a server. Anyways, the adapter/SD-card does loads and boots with a Lubuntu OS. However, when AC power is unplugged/lost to the PC, the SD-card loses all data (erased) and causes a no-bootable-device error. Consequently, a power outage would bring down the server unless I have the PC on battery backup to prevent the SD-card clearing issue. Furthermore, the repetitious rebuilding of the OS on the SD-card is tedious and takes several hours each time to complete. Consequently, this adapter isn't an ideal IDE replacement in my case. I've also read reviews from someone having similar issues with a different brand of these SD-card/IDE adapters. It could be a common shortcoming with the adapter.

Works well. New life into old machines.

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

I have this replacing the hard drive in a 20+ year old Mac. It works well. Because of the placement of the connectors, I had to buy power and IDE extenders, but now it works a treat.

Note that the power pins are exposed on the bottom of the board. If you don't have an enclosure, find some other way to protect them from the metal of the case. I ended up screwing a section of an old CD to the bottom to shield the pins from the aluminum case.

I'm very glad I bought this. Who could have imagined a mid '90s Macintosh with a 16GB solid state drive in it?
