NFHK SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5" Hard Disk Drive

Used in a old WIN98 nostalgic PC that I have where my IDE hard drive was failing. Had a small SATA HD laying around and used this adaptor and so far it has worked really well. Hope it last and also I had to used electrical tape to hold it onto the SATA HD as connector would easily come off when I moved the PC to work on it.

I have a legacy circa 2005 Pentium 4 based system that I want to keep running as is because it has specialized software running on it that cannot be re-installed on a fresh OS. It's running Windows XP SP2. The motherboard, in addition to the IDE HDD ports, has 2 SATA I ports. These are on the VIA chipset and they do not downgrade a SATA II device or higher down to SATA I. It's SATA one or the ports don't work. At first I set the jumpers on a SATA II HDD to force SATA I mode and that did work. But then I wondered if using this adapter and running the IDE cable to the new SSD that I cloned the original HDD to would be faster than the HDD SATA I drive. The answer is yes, this adapter with the SSD on the IDE channel is faster. One thing that is very interesting is that the original drive and the SSD have 3 NTFS partitions on them. The 2nd and 3rd partitions run significantly faster than the OS partion in CrystalDiskMark. I even re-arranged the partitions so that the C: partitiion/boot is 40GB and only 7% used and the CrystalDiskMark results aren't any better, so I guess that was not the reason. I don't know why the partitions produce different speed results. But the adapter works great. You have to be somewhat careful not to break it but now I have a new drive with my specialized apps on a 20 year old Windows XP system and it should run fine and at least 3x faster for a long time... (Don't worry, it's not connected to the internet.)

I bought this to replace the hard drive of my Korg D888 Multitrack which finally took a dump. I had some 128gig SSD drives and this adapter did the trick. The hard drive swap was fast and simple. I did watch a tutorial first. The SSD booted right up, format completed and my D888 is dead silent now and working better than it ever did. I bought 2 of these but will but more as my old hard drives fail and upgrade them to SSD drives. Highly recommend. Fast ship, great seller, no issues.

It worked on my old pc from late 99, however the sata end is very loose. The looseness can also end up also causing a full system short if the molex power connector pins salted to the pcb touch the metal of a hdd. Unsafe to use

It's a little slower and bulkier than I would have liked, but it gets the job done. I used this adapter to put a 1TB SATA drive inside my original modded Xbox. It takes 20-30 seconds to boot past the Microsoft logo, but it seems to work fine after that and gave me a way to connect something newer to something older to make it work. The price was also less than the fancier adapters, so I guest you get what you pay for, but at works, and that's good enough for me.

Bought one of these and it didn't work (drive was recognized but data transfers froze), but I got a replacement right away and the replacement is perfect. It works very well, plug and play. The master/slave jumper is clearly labelled and performance is fine. So I have a newish SATA SSD in my old Power Macintosh G4 and it works like a charm.

El paquete,como siémpre,llegó tarde,con mentiras de no poderlo entregar y esta vez con ¡SORPRESA!,ESTABA ABIERTO POR DEBAJO CON ALGO AFILADO!"?",al menos el adaptador estaba bien y funciona,por ahora me va genial para la torre ;)

I bought this to replace the Hard Disk in a softmodded Xbox with a Samsung DVD drive. If you've got one of these consoles you know the Startech IDE2SATA adapter doesn't work with the DVD drive on the same IDE channel. THIS adapter does work with the DVD drive on the same channel, however it has suboptimal boot up speed from the factory. By adding a 100 ohm (Ω) resistor to pad R4 and a 10k ohm (Ω) resistor to pad RH1, boot times are cut from TWO whole minutes to about 45 seconds. If you're comfortable with surface mount soldering this is a fantastic deal for an adapter being less than half the price of the Startech equivalent.

古い PC の再生のために使用しました。 HDD は WD RED Plus 1TB です。 PC 側には PATA のインターフェイスしかなかったので、新しい HDD を使用するために使用しました。 ジャンパーピンでマスター・スレーブを切り替えることができます。 マスター、スレーブの両方のパターンで動作させる必要があったためそれぞれ使用してみましたが、特に問題なく使用できました。 以下使用時の注意点です。 ・基板むき出しなので、通電前に本商品が導通部分に触れていないかを確認しておく必要があります。 ・コネクターの構造上、SATA 側よりも PATA 側が固いです。接続時は PATA ケーブルに本商品を接続し、それから HDD の SATA コネクターに接続することになると思います。

Der Adapter wird dafür genutzt, eine Sata SSD auf einem alten Pentium 2 board mit IDE Anschluss zu benutzen. Wurde problemlos erkannt, und Windows 98 liess sich einwandfrei darauf installieren, ohne irgendwelche zusätzlichen Treiber. Gewinnt keine Geschwindigkeitspreise, aber das war auch nicht das Ziel. Achtung: Das Board arbeitet anscheinend mit einer internen OS als Interface, denn wenn man die Platte von diese Adapter abzieht und diese versucht an einem anderen PC mit SATA Anschluss auszulesen findet man nur diverse nicht auslesbare Partitionen. Als Backup Methode daher eher nicht geeignet.

A lot of people would be looking for this item so they can upgrade the original Xbox with a sata hhd. This does work, however you will need to solder 101 and 103 SMD resistors to R4 and RH1 respective in order to get the max speed. If you’re not confident on soldering then its best to purchase the more expensive Startech.

Works as it should when mixing old hardware with fairly modern ones
