    Converter

    posted by wi11ow on 08/05/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Works well, I got my old IDE disk to work with it rather fast. It also comes with a SATA cable. Just connect the module to the disk and use the cables to connect it to power and the main board.
    Cons:
    The fit was rather tight, I had to press down hard. Also I can see how it might touch the metal on the disk. The build quality ...

    Works well, but only on HDD

    posted by Speederase on 05/04/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Fairly sturdy, easy to use, and brainless. Just plug it into the drive, pop in SATA (included) and the floppy power cable and voila - shows up to the computer as a SATA drive!
    Cons:
    Unplugging it feels like it might break, if your drive has a metal casing, you may want to cover the exposed contacts on the bo...

    what a steal

    posted by emiliogon on 08/02/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    - zero config other than cable fiddling - uses a floppy power connector, so you can finally use one of those power supply outputs meant for the floppy no one uses anymore. - comes with cables!
    Cons:
    - the through-hole connector pins can touch the case of the attached drive. this shouldn't really be a problem, as drive cases...

    It works

    posted by tutils on 05/23/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    It works and it's cheap. It is compact enough to be plugged into any device without interfering. No speed degradation noticed with my CD-RW drive (didn't use it for a real hard-disk though). It requires a 4 pin power cable, which is included with the packag...
    Cons:
    At first the BIOS wouldn't recognize the drive, but after trying all jumper configurations it finally worked with "cable-s...

    Works great!

    posted by n4zou on 04/10/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Works perfectly! I had an old 30 GiB hard drive just laying around so I plugged this little device where the ribbon cable would have gone and plugged in the power and SATA cables. The BIOS found it as did my Windows and Linux operating systems.
    Cons:
    Be careful of shorting out the 4 power pins. They can touch the metal case of hard drive. I put a little peace of tape on the m...
