chenyang IDE to SATA Adapter,3.5" IDE/PATA 40Pin Hard Disk Drive to SATA Motherboard Adapter Converter

I'm really happy with these so far. I bought two to use with a zip 250 and zip 100 drive. I set both drives to master and plugged these adapters in. I have them installed in an older SATA machine running LMDE and I can access the disks without issue. I highly recommend these, especially at the price. Just make sure you can figure your drives correctly. When I had them both set the cable select they wouldn't work.

Thought it didn't work at first - someone in the Q&A here helpfully reminded me you need to use a jumper to master the drive, so if you're having trouble, try that. After that, it worked like a charm!!! I was able to copy all the data off 3 old drives, checked for integrity, it worked flawlessly. Only gripe, and honestly the manufacturer is doing their best here so I can't dock any points for it - it's too bulky to fit in many hard drive caddies, so you're going to be holding your drives in the old fashioned way (screws). Not that manufacturer's fault - it's as slim as it could be. Also - this is for connecting an old (female IDE) drive to a new (female SATA, male SATA cable) mobo. Don't go complaining if you try and go the other way and it doesn't work - there are a TON of products out there for that, this just isn't one of them. I'll try to edit with pictures later.

May work great depending on various factors unknown to me. My experience - Windows 10 recognized this adaptor connected IDE CD drive as a standard disk (hard drive) and loaded hard drive drivers. I spent several (!) attempts to replace driver with a CD driver (CdRom.sys) for this adaptor/IDE CD drive without success. Result - unfortunately, this adaptor didn't work for me. Am now successfully using a StarTech.com 1 Port PCI Express IDE Controller Adapter Card - Storage Controller - ATA - 133 MBps - PCIe x1 (PEX2IDE) in my application, which does cost more. The above PCIe card connected CD drive was recognized correctly by Windows 10 without user intervention.

It worked for almost a month. Then one day it caught fire. Computer is destroyed. Smoke damage on the ceiling. So far company REFUSES to take any blame. They say I hooked things up wrong. I worked in IT for years. I hooked it up properly. The product (The one I received) was faulty. There is nothing protecting the circuit board. It almost burned the house down. Yet he refuses to do anything about it. DO NOT BUY from him. DON'T BE SORRY. I am now out the cost of the computer and smoke damage in the living room. Thank goodness some one was home when it happened.

For how cheap this thing is, I'm shocked at how well it works. I didn't use it for a hard drive, so I can't speak to that, but it works very well for ATAPI CDROMs. I had a PATA drive that I wanted to use in a SATA computer because the drive matched the case. This adapter let me use the drive, and it seems to work totally transparently. I expected to run into problems, but I've not noticed anything yet. I'm very happy with it.

I used this to convert an old ide drive to a sata drive. As another reviewer pointed out, the 22 pin sata power plus data jack is quite fragile. The jack cracked between the 15 pin power and 7 pin data housing, which then resulted in 5 of the 7 data pins fracturing where they passed through the board and ultimately causing intermittent drive operation. Testing all board components revealed that the microcontroller had failed as a result of this intermittent operation. As the other reviewer pointed out, use strain relief to prevent this if you are connecting the drive externally.

This isnt for me its for my great grandson, the one whos writing this, I like it , works, shows the drive in file explorer, just using to get data recovered and off of it with diskgenious

At first I was a little worried after reading some reviews about others having no luck with this adapter, especially with CD/DVD-ROMs. I set my drive to master, plugged this adapter to the IDE input on the drive along with the 4-pin Molex power cable (included with adapter), plugged in the SATA power & data cables to the adapter and booted PC. Drive came up reads and writes as it should! Might have to get another for my old IDE HDD’s. One thing to note on the item I received was one of the individual power cables on the adapter side (smaller connector) was not inserted all the way into the connector. A little shove onto the connector and I head the click and it seated just fine and was no longer loose.

Very handy and useful. Converter old ide to sata and being used in new desktop.

I have searched and ordered a 44 pins FEMALE IDE connector to SATA, I have received by 3 times a male 44 pins connector. A Female 44 pins to SATA ( Which ended being a 40 pins female connector (The green one)) and I just received another connector 40 pins female to SATA. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SALESMAN. I have ordered the Green, The Red and The blue connectors and NOT ONE was fitting not corresponding to what I looked for despite the description nor the pictures.

Facile da installare basta seguire indicazioni scritte sulle immagini di vendita, ho perfettamente funzionante su scheda madre di ultima generazione con lettore dvd cd rom con connessione ide del 2004. È bastato semplicemente disinstallare i driver controller ide ahci su gestione dispositivi e riavere il pc perché rilevasse il masterizzatore. Perfetto e molto pratico forse il prezzo potrebbe essere più basso ma si risparmia rispetto ad acquistare un nuovo lettore , sempre se si possiede un lettore dvd vecchio.

古いDVD-RWに使用、初めはPC自体が起動せず、ほかのレビューにあったようにHDDでないとダメかと思いましたが、ジャンパーの設定でなんら問題なく使用可能に、PCは、 dellのワークステーション、DVD-Rも書くことがほとんどなくなりましたが、本体があるので使えればと安い値段なので購入しました。

Works perfectly to re-use old IDE drive in SATA mode
