      5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a Windows 98 Retro Rig
      Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      I was using a different IDE > SATA converter at first, but DMA issues caused the system to become extremely unresponsive while doing disk I/O.

      Per some suggestions on various forums, they mentioned it was most likely the adapter and to get this StarTech adapter instead. And you know what? This one worked perfectly! Super fast DMA disk access now on my Win98 retro gaming rig!

      Yes, this adapter costs a bit more than the no-name ones, but it is worth it if you want something with better compatibility with retro systems.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly to replace an old IDE drive in my Toshiba RS-TX20 TIVO
      Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      Worked perfectly when I replaced a 2009 vintage 500gb IDE drive with a 1TB SATA drive in our Toshiba Rs-TX20 TIVO.
      Build quality is good.
      The IDE pins can be bent IF you do not remove the IDE cable evenly from the connector, however I have found this to be true for this style of connector since 1987!
      I ran into a few compatibility issues when connecting the adapter to the computer I use for cloning hard drives.
      The computer is based on an older ASUS P5KC motherboard which has built in SATA and JMicron chipset IDE ports.
      BIOS refused to recognize any SATA hard drive I connected to the JMicron ports using this adapter.
      BIOS DID recognize the drive when the IDE cable was plugged in an Adaptec ATA66 PCI adapter card.
      Didn't matter if I used a 40 or 80 wire ribbon cable, the 80 has 40 signal lines and 40 grounds to support faster speeds.
      So bottom line.. It works for my needs but may or may not work for you depending on what you are plugging it into.

      5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent bridge between vintage and modern
      Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2022
      Verified Purchase
      This is hands down one of the finest IDE to SATA adapters I’ve ever used.

      Primarily, it is being used in a late 90’s Dell Dimension desktop and is fully compatible. One of the most beneficial aspects is that the master/slave IDE identifier works flawlessly as my machine has the DVD and SSD on the same cable. Simply set the jumper on the board, and it works perfectly.

      I can also confirm that it is fully MAC compatible. I have another StarTech board in a 2002 iMac G4 and had no issues.

      Can also confirm this will function for legacy drive cloning. Have plugged in a 90’s HDD to it and in turn connected to the internal SATA port of my desktop running Windows 11. After a fresh boot, the modern cloning software recognized the old drive and ported the data quickly to the new one.

      Found a YT vid for modding of OG Xbox and this startech adapter was highly recommended for the project. So I picked one up and I got it to work exactly as expected. Connections were solid, super easy to use, fit is excellent, cables included are solid

      Najważniejsze, że ze starym kontrolerem IDE nowy napęd DVD działa, co prawda jeden - tak jakby przejściówka zapisywała sobie go (ten pierwszy napęd podpięty do niej) w pamięci i już żadnego innego nie chciała rozpoznać (jakaś metoda na jej reset?).

      L'adattatore di StarTech.com per dischi rigidi IDE a SATA è un dispositivo versatile che va oltre il semplice collegamento di dischi rigidi IDE a porte SATA. Ecco una descrizione più dettagliata delle sue funzionalità, inclusi i potenziali utilizzi con masterizzatori SATA e il supporto per un upgrade del disco rigido in una console Xbox di prima generazione:

      Compatibilità Estesa:
      Questo adattatore supporta non solo dischi rigidi IDE, ma di solito è in grado di connettere anche masterizzatori SATA. Quindi, se hai un vecchio masterizzatore IDE che desideri collegare a un sistema più moderno con porte SATA, questo adattatore può esserti utile. Questa flessibilità aggiunge valore all'adattatore, consentendo l'uso di dispositivi oltre ai dischi rigidi.

      Upgrade del Disco Rigido su Console Xbox di Prima Generazione:
      Per quanto riguarda l'upgrade del disco rigido su una console Xbox di prima generazione, l'adattatore può svolgere un ruolo chiave. Puoi collegare un disco rigido IDE più grande o più moderno all'adattatore e quindi collegare questo nuovo disco rigido alla console Xbox tramite il connettore SATA. Questo consente di aumentare la capacità di archiviazione della tua console e consentire una migliore gestione dei giochi e dei file multimediali.

      Prestazioni e Compatibilità:
      L'adattatore di solito offre buone prestazioni, garantendo una trasmissione dati stabile tra il disco rigido IDE o il masterizzatore e il sistema host con porta SATA. La compatibilità con vari dispositivi IDE e SATA permette di utilizzare questo adattatore con una vasta gamma di hardware, aumentandone l'utilità.

      Installazione Semplice:
      L'installazione di solito è semplice e diretta. Non richiede competenze tecniche avanzate e può essere eseguita rapidamente seguendo le istruzioni fornite con l'adattatore. Questo facilita l'upgrade e l'utilizzo del disco rigido o del masterizzatore desiderato.

      Conclusioni:
      L'adattatore di StarTech.com per dischi rigidi IDE a SATA è una soluzione versatile e pratica che va oltre il suo scopo principale. Consente il collegamento di dischi rigidi e masterizzatori IDE a porte SATA, fornendo così più opzioni per l'utente. La sua semplice installazione, buone prestazioni e compatibilità estesa lo rendono un accessorio prezioso per chi ha bisogno di collegare hardware legacy a sistemi moderni o di effettuare upgrade di dispositivi come dischi rigidi o masterizzatori.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Beware the pin header
      Reviewed in Canada on January 14, 2021

      This product is fantastic. Much better than the cheap options available on facebook. Upon receipt I was blown away by the weight of the product compared to the cheap one I was sending back. Typical Startech quality on full display here.

      The Good:
      - Works seamlessly in an original xbox to allow for the use of massive SATA drives (I used it to max out the 2TB limitation of the hardware)
      - Made with good materials
      - Includes a molex passthrough to chain the adapter between a source and another drive
      - Includes jumpers to allow master/slave/cable select
      - The power adapter attaches parallel to the board, freeing up space in otherwise craped situations

      The Bad:
      - Both sides of the board is left entirely exposed, inviting shorts. Would highly recommend taping off the back of the board, regardless of use
      - The power cable uses the mini-molex plug used by legacy floppy drives, meaning you need to use the included cable to power the adapter. Not a deal breaker, but extra, unnecessary, wires always suck

      The Ugly:
      - As opposed to a standard plastic ATA socket, this adapter uses a pin header. Your IDE ribbon will fit fine, but it seems to attach muss less sturdy

      This device is 300% of the price of competing cheap options, but it is largely worth it to have a one-and-done solution. If you're looking to upgrade your original xbox hard drive in 2021, you really can't go wrong with this.
