CY SATA Female to IDE 44Pin Disk Converter Adapter PCBA for Laptop & 2.5" Hard Disk Drive

I bought this to make use of an ide connection and allow me to connect a sata drive. So I plugged it in, connected a data drive and powered it up. Works fine, so I'm very happy with it. The seller has various adapters available and on the basis of this working well, I would be happy to try the others.

I paired adapter enclosure with the BAITITON MSATA III 128GB SSD for use in a iMac G4, replacing the existing 3.5" hard disk. I ran the Apple OS 9.2 installation disc. Initialized the drive, and partitioned it with no complaints. Installed the OS on a single partition using the entire drive, and the machine boots from it. I've been using it since January daily without any issues so far. -- Update: The original I've been using above still works, and it's now 2 years on and I've purchased another for my Power Mac G4 and it's replaced the 10GB harddisk. For this build I used a Transend 64GB mSATA disk. Very happy to see the same product is sold and not changed. Works perfect with the retro Apple machines.

Worked fine for ssd upgrade with no problems

Great idea someone had!! Allowing SSD inside the IDE package so it fits inside the drive bay. I have a couple of older PC laptops so this was fantastic. Good value, Works without problems. Drive capacity I fitted is 256GB NGFF SSD.

Beware, chip runs hot. Cheap and nasty materials. but works at least.

I recently picked up a very cheap little HP LifeBook 2530p. CrystalDiskInfo told me that the original HD had problems, so I opened the compartment cover up to be met by a mini SATA HD, so my spare SSD was no good. After a Google search I saw this was recommended. Fortunately I also had a spare 128 GB mSATA drive, and it fitted perfectly. I could even use the original screw to hold it firmly in the drive compartment. Just installing Windows 10 on it as I write. Perfect for upgrading something like this HP which uses an "unusual" mini SATA drive. As the mSATA drive is inserted upside down in the drive bay, hopefully it will not overheat. It may have been better for it to be facing up, and benefit from the cooling grill on the HD cover, time will tell.

The item was sent to myself totally damaged, Pins on connector bent, PCB damaged broken & bent, plastic case smashed, Unusable, to myself it looked like it had been stepped on it was so damaged & bent, BTW underside of the PCB has paper tape over the connector pins which is inadequate for insulation materials especially if you have any metal case surrounding the adapter

I used this to upgrade a 2005 Apple iBook. Perfect solution to install a modern drive in a retro machine. Obviously use to the PATA interface you aren’t going to get the best speeds from the drive but it certainly improves on the speed and more importantly the reliability of the original spinning disc of rust

it works well and allows me to transfer my data from old disk to new ssd

plugged in a brand new mSATA drive and IDE cannot see it!

利用していないｍSATAーSSDを通常のSATAーSSDとして利用しようと買いましたが、ｍSATA本体はねじ止めできるのですが、SATA収納のケースに接続できません。返品しようとしたのですが,500円必要で、あきらめました。 同じことを考えている方おやめください。 Ps:変換できるのはmicroSATA端子で通常のSATA端子ではありません。外国人の評価で＋点がついていますが、日本人の評価を参照すべきでした。

Ist perfekt!

古いドライブの再利用のため、購入しました。 これは、自分が悪いのですが、IDE⇔SATA変換できれば、昔の光学ドライブが使えるのでは？と思い購入したが、BIOS認識しませんでした。 ハードディスクは正常利用可能なため、タイトル通りなのですが、見落としていました。 IDE⇔USBでは光学ドライブも動作するので、 やはり、このパーツでは、光学ドライブは使えないとがわかりました。 残念です。
