Great for Hard Drives, OK for DVD writers... October 29, 2008

I used this product to temporarily install the IDE hard drive from my old PC into my new PC so that I could copy over the contents. The adapter plugs into the back of the drive and requires a power supply for it (and for the drive itself, of course). It comes with a power adapter, too, but I didn't require this. The final piece of the package is the SATA cable to connect the adapter to the motherboard.
I then had to go into the PC BIOS to turn on the SATA socket I had just plugged into.
It took me a while to get this to work, because I changed the jumper on the drive to change it to slave. Had I left it alone, jumpered to master, I would have saved a lot of time! Once I realised this, the adapter worked pefectly well and I was able to copy the contents of my IDE drive.
I then used the adapter on my LG DVD burner. It does work, but it makes the machine boot up slowly and it always complains that it can't find the drive. Pressing F1 to continue seems to fix this and then the drive behaves as normal, although I did have the occasional Blue Screens of Death when I was messing with DVD-RAM drivers.
So for a temporary solution for a hard drive, I can recommend this. For a DVD drive, you might be luckier than I was, but you may be better off a new SATA DVD drive - they're not that expensive these days.
