Digital camera reviews of SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter

Digital camera Review: An easy way to upgrade a Mirror Drive Power Mac to use SATA HDs
Summary: 5 Stars

With IDE hard drives getting more difficult to find I thought of trying a Seagate 320 GB SATA drive but without a controller card. There's no cheaper way (Mac compatible PCI controller cards cost as much, if not more than SATA drives) to use newer higher capacity drives. At first I was hesitant because of my experience with Mac Quicksilver's motherboard recognizing HDs to 128 GB. With the Mirror Drive the 320 SATA drive was recognized to full capacity instantly. I use the new drive as backup together with an older 160 GB IDE drive as the main drive. The adapter lengthens the dimensions of the SATA drive so I placed it into one of spare drive bays beneath the DVD burner, using the other controller. Other Mac upgraders told me OS X 10.4/5 will not recognize onboard Western Digital HDs so I have no experience with them except as external USB drives.

Summary of SATA to PATA/IDE Hard Drive Interface Adapter

Convert IDE/PATA and SATA hard drive interfaces for use with older/newer computer systems. Adapter has female SATA power and data connectors, and male IDE/Molex data and power connectors.
Note: adapters of this type CAN NOT be used with external hard drive enclosures, it WILL NOT FIT. Don't forget to adjust your BIOS settings to detect the adapted hard drive! You may need extra cables not included with this product.
