Easy Install, Works Flawlessly : StarTech.com 2.5-Inch and 3.5-Inch 40 Pin Male IDE to SATA Adapter Converter IDE2SAT
In case you're wondering, the adapter transfers power to the Sata drive unit by it's included adapter cable from molex 4-pin to floppy style jack on the adapter. Adapter then perfectly aligns to the Hdd Sata data & power female jack on the drive.
Since my new computer runs a Dvd-style optic drive, and the one I was construction has been somewhat dependant upon driver downloads and such from the newer device, I wanted the very newest Dvd compatible interface for my dinky Xp engine. When my Dvd writer arrived, I was dismayed to see Sata only interface.
My mainboard supports many drives, but only Ide/Pata plug-ins are standard. Although I've used a new old-style motherboard for the build up, my old hard drives and optic drives were routed/jumped with a `cable-select' setting enabled on each drive. That configuration isn't supported for the StarTech device. The adapter jumpers must be set for either of two choices, `slave'
or `master'.
If you're unaware of the point of the jumpers, by all means google the term `cable-select', as it so happens that there's well no inequity of appearance in the middle of acceptable Ide cables and the cable take version, but, you'll be missing a relationship if you unwittingly substitute one for the other.
Proximal spacing of the devices from the mum board should conform to a pattern of `base' plug-in at one end, with slave gismo on the town or internal connector, and specialist gismo at the external or outer extremity of the ribbon cable. If the jumpers and the devices are arranged with this configuration, then your Ide processing software driver should comprehend that `all-is-well', as configured and no gismo conflicts should ensue.
As such is the case, Windows had no qoute recognizing my Sata optic drive exactly according to it's manufacturer identity. The StarTech adapter needs no cut off drivers and therefore any compatibility issues that remained were isolated to third-party software. Make safe bet That All Electrical Plugs Are Firmly Secured.
