NFHKEP-014 SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5 inch Hard Disk Drive

As described in the title - this works really well with the original Xbox. I wanted to drop in a SATA solid state drive to replace a 22 year old mechanical drive (that hadn't been powered on for at least a decade until recently!). Somehow the original drive still worked but I didn't want to risk it.This adaptor has worked perfectly (although I did need to pick up an 80 pin IDE cable from Amazon for a couple of quid). I've bought IDE to SATA adapters in the past - I went with this one specifically this time for its ability to be switched between primary and secondary IDE channels (that's a blast from the past!). It made it easier for cloning the original drive.Good value.

Worked great on an Xbox, just remember to use the jumper appropriately as you may think something has gone wrong but actually the jumper just needed changing.

Wanted this to use an old 20GB SSD from a dead laptop in an even older tower PC. It connected up ok and the BIOS actually detected the drive first time, brilliant or so I thought. That was until the whole system then hung, until I removed the drive and rebooted. Now the PC doesn't see it all, despite the drive working in another machine.Despite trying different drives and on a different PC, this adaptor appears to now be totally dead. So a total of 5 seconds of life, at least the motherboard was unaffected as the PC detects IDE drives fine.

Bought this to retrieve the contents of three IDE drives. A bit fiddly to get into place, but it picked up the first drive no problem. It took absolutely ages to transfer the contents though, speed was no higher than 4-5MB/s (I don't remember IDE being THAT slow!). Nonetheless, it did the job. Unfortunately, it did not detect the other two drives. They span up but nothing happened. Could easily be the drives themselves though.Overall, for the cost, I'm happy and would recommend with caution. It's just a bit slow.

Many of these modules don't - this one does! and it has master/slave jumper which is. important for some systems

Works perfect with stock IDE cable and 3tb sata hd

I already have a similar device, but the transfer is much worse. Thanks to USB 3.0, data transfer is more stable and faster, and additional external power is necessary for old HDDs

Does not work, I tried 3 different hard drives and 1 ssd, but no matter what I did or what settings I tried I could not get the bios to detect the hard drive.
