5.0 out of 5 stars Bargin!, 29 July 2009

By	Jeannieb (Alexandria, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IOMAX Bi-Directional IDE / SATA Converter (Connect IDE Drive to SATA Motherboard or SATA Drive to IDE Motherboard)

This item was exactly as decribed and done exactly what I wanted it to do. Received quickly. Hard drives are now being manufactured with sata connections rather than IDE so this connection is a great piece of equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bi-Directional IDE / SATA Converter, 15 Nov 2009

By	HairyMan (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IOMAX Bi-Directional IDE / SATA Converter (Connect IDE Drive to SATA Motherboard or SATA Drive to IDE Motherboard)

Decided to rebuild my ancient PC and realised that I only had one IDE slot on my Motherboard, which I needed for my optical drives. This clever device slots into your IDE Drive data port with a lead onto your Motherboard SATA connection and another to a molex power connector. Bingo, your IDE drive thinks it's a SATA drive. This of course works the other way round. Simples.
