I didn't find it useful, you may.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

It is only IDE. I would have liked it a lot more if it had an external connector and external berg power port. It's no doubt fine for using inside a system that does not have native IDE. Perhaps better off using a sata-ide dongle/adapter on the dive.

Revived mystack of IDE drives

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

I still have use for optical drives now and then. The current crop of SATA optical drives have been unreliable, especially for the old CDRs. Much like printers, optical drives of a decade ago were more reliable. Modern motherboards no longer support IDE drives so this allows me to use some of my stack of perfectly good IDE drives. One pleasant surprise is the IDE drives attached via this will boot my ASROCK system.

Good for when your motherboard doesn't have IDE

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is good for when your motherboard doesn't have IDE, like my new B450m board. I knew that could be a possibility going to ordering that motherboard because most budget and modern boards forego adding IDE. The interface is outdated.

But having legacy DVD and one HDD drives that used the IDE interface I had need for this. For the most part all has went well. I didn't have trouble installing the card into my PCIE slot, though I had to use the 4 lane slot because my graphics card covered my 2 lane.

There were two problems I had and one which I can't yet solve.

1. The supplied cable is too short to reach both the HDD and DVD drive. That's the problem I need to solve in order to use both. I've ordered an extension for IDE cables and hopefully that does the trick.

2. Windows failed to install the drivers correctly and threw a Code 10 error at me in Devixe manager on the ATA lanes. To solve it I installed them and then it was fixed.

Overall, I can't complain so far. The speed seems faster than a standard IDE port even. I did some data transfer tests and it seemed comparable to SATA 2. But that could be my imagination. Though, I did watch a 5 GB file transfer over to the HDD within about 45 seconds so it seemed quick. Reviews complaining about speed has in result confused me.

Worked out great to revive a sleeper build with working CD-RW and DVD-ROM in Windows 11

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

As the title states I am now able to use an old case with PATA ODDs, and was thrilled that I didn't have to place any jumpers.

Pros:
I already had my drives (21 years old) which ended up being cheaper to buy this device as opposed to buying SATA replacements (possibly double)

Cons:
1. Adds some seconds to boot into the OS, which takes away from having an SSD (part of driver recognition).
2. Being PCI-E one will need an extension to reach in a mATX or larger case

Installs on Windos 11 Home

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

Tried competitive product on Windows 10 Home, and it failed to be recognized. I upgraded the build to Windows 11 on the same new Asus Prime B460M-A R.2.0 motherboard. Inserted StarTech IDE controller card to the PCIE slot, connected 2 IDE DVD drives and rebooted to the BIOS screen. At the Boot tab both drives showed up in correct order starting with the HD first. Having my doubts about Cable Select, I earlier moved jumpers on the drives to Master and to Slave on the other. Booted to Windows 11, and File Explorer shows drives, both seem to operate normally, haven't tested for speed yet, but I am impressed with the seamless installation, no need for any drivers. The reason I want to continue use of both IDE drives is that I use the LightScribe feature to burn titles. I can't find any new DVD or BD SATA drive that would have the LightScribe enabled.

Easy -- Just about plug and play

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Plugged it in, Win XP discovered a new IDE controller. Plugged in the new PATA drive (in this SATA machine), XP asked for the manufacturer's driver (CD comes with the card) and it installed. I formatted the drive, then -- in about 25 minutes -- cloned 20+ GB of data from the SATA drive. I'd say it delivers plenty of speed and it was certainly easy enough to get going.

(Doing the same clone on a strictly PATA machine with both drives on the same controller took me nearly an hour.)

There's so much empty real estate on this IDE Controller slot plate that I used it for a db 9 serial port running from the spare 2-USB header on the MOBO by transferring the (single) Star Tech USB-to-serial adapter from its own plate to a new hole in this one. But there's still more space, the 9-pin MOBO USB header actually supports two USB ports, and I could use another of those so I may add that too.

These Star Tech adapters are wonderfully flexible and combining functions on one (when you only have one that needs the PCI slot and that card is half-height on a full-height plate as this one is) saves space on today's more compact machines and avoids what can be nasty metalwork on your computer case. Like, iron filings on your MOBO ...

Just mark the clear space on the slot plate before disassembling it and be sure to allow for cables, etc. that need to be connected.

Of course some recent machines have knockouts in the metalwork to allow installing missing serial ports etc. If you have one, that's probably the easy way to go.

Why, yes, the back of my computer IS a bit of a jungle ... why do you ask?

Keeping my IDE optical drive going...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Having recently upgraded my motherboard I wanted to keep my brilliant LG DVD burner. As optical drives are in decline nowadays it's quiet tricky to get hold of a good one with the buffering size my LG has got. I bought a SATA III drive but it doesn't burn audio CD's as good as my trusty IDE. My new upgrade, as expected, only comes with SATA port so to me, this was an issue until I found this card. Really easy to fit, no software necessary and it's also recognised in the BIOS. My LG burner now produces disc just as good as my previous IDE port.
My only warning is; anyone wishing to do the same as me but with the exception of two IDE optical drives, you'll need an extra long ribbon for both drives to be link and for it to reach the card. Did not affect me as I only wanted to connect one IDE as (as I mentioned) my other is a SATA. Recommended.

Perfect with Windows 10

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought this to PCIe card to replace my long serving Sil 0680 ATA 133 Controller (IDE) which takes longer to detect drives and slows the PC boot process. Windows 10 automatically detected it and installed the correct driver, and my attached IDE drive was immediately accessible with rebooting. Result!

Does the job but slow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you want to use a couple of old IDE hard drives in a PC wihout an IDE port then this will do the job. However if you want to achieve good write speeds to those disks forget it. I set this up with two HDD drives connected to it and the boot drive connected via SATA. Writing to the boot drive on a gigabit ethernet achieved speeds of 20mb p/s plus. Writing to the two drives attached to the device achieved 1.9mb max!!
I attached one of the IDE drives to an IDE/SATA converter and the speed went up to 20mb plus!! Proving the bottleneck was this device. Take note if you want good write speeds.

StarTech.com 1 Port PCI Express IDE Controller Adapter Card - Storage controller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 15, 2020

Good quality card drives 2 IDE devices with 40 pin connectors (cable included). It enables me to use my excellent, old LG (Lucky Goldstar) IDE DVD writer on my new MSI motherboard which does not have any IDE connectors. This drive is faster than my Samsung DVD writer with SATA connector. Recommended buy.

Needed an IDE port for an old Fujitsu MO drive, this card works perfectly. Windows 11 installs the drivers automatically as this is a standard IDE controller.
