Desktop Computer Review: SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter Review

I have an old PC (Approximately 7 years old).I wanted to upgrade to an SATA drive, but this old PC did not have the ability to accept SATA drives.I purchased another type of adapter.It was the "Ide To Sata Drive Motherboard by StarTech".That adapter was supposed to convert the EIDE bus on the motherboard to SATA but the system could not recognize the drive.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this "SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter" when I attached it to the SATA drive, plugged the ribbon cable into it, and the PC recognized the drive and I was up and running.

The description is misleading and I don't want to be a "JERK" either.However, but by looking at the photograph of this item, you can plainly tell that it will not convert in reverse, as the other reviewer states.

I would recommend this adapter.
