Where can I buy one of these?

[warlockboyburns]

does this only work for dvd drives or does it woth with hard drives?

[crashbandicoot4everr]

@warlockboyburns why not?

[sata4solutions]

It depends on what kind of converter your have, single direction or bi-directional. The video show here show the connection of SATA device to PATA (IDE) motherboard. You will need either an bi-directional SATA bridge or a converter conver IDE device to SATA interface to connecto SATA only motherboard.

This works the same with SATA hard drives, too right? My computer's pretty old (P4 MSI MS-6719) and only supports IDE drives. I'm getting a SATA HDD and this, I hope will be my solution to the problem of incompatibility.

@TearJerker2011 Same here, It probably does work for hard drives...I hope :P

[TearJerker2011]

@TheDoctorParker I actually ended up with a brand new computer a couple months after I wrote that. I'm all SATA now. :) I never did get a converter.

[VacancyJB]

how can i use this to set my PATA as master, SATA as slave? is it possible to use SATA and PATA together by using this converter?

[Ivansvideocollection]
