Works to boot Windows 98 from an SSD (WITH BIOS TWEAK)
Imaged original IDE drive using Macrum Reflect 8 Free edition, then installed an SSD in it’s place. Although it did recognise the SSD drive in the BIOS, Windows 98 wouldn’t boot and it was hanging at a blank black screen. However, when I turned off the PCI IDE Bus Master from the motherboard BIOS, the SSD drive now boots into Windows 98 correctly.

It's a brilliant piece, just what I needed
If you have an old IDE hard drive, it's a must to have to convert it to sata

dont buy broke hdd and adapter
bought to use in an original xbox but when i tried it wouldn't work i thought it was because the xbox had a 40 pin ide cable and that i needed an 80 pin so i bought an 80 pin ide cable and when i tried it again it worked for about a minute before i could smell burning and now the adapter and original hdd with my old games saves dont work at all beware of this cheap China rubbish don't buy this unless you want to have a bad time

Beware limitations
This PATA<->SATA adaptor looks useful, and probably is. But despite what it says in the item description, it will not work with HDD's. The IDE connector only has enough pins to work with optical drives. For the purpose I intended - reading a very old PATA HDD from 2008, sadly it was useless.

Great for retro machines
If you're looking for an easy way to add either new or additional storage to an older machine, this might just be it! Found this perfect for my more retro machines and allows me to use an SSD rather than a IDE to SD adapter plus sd card. Performance is fine.

Handy converter
Did work with my drives, but my equipment didn't work with it, multi track hard disk recorder. Had to use a more expensive one.

Keeping the dream alive! Well, an old computer for another 20 years.
I bought this to upgrade an old Power Mac G4 MDD that I picked up a few years ago. The original IDE hard drive in it was dated 2001(!) - still working fine but I wouldn't want to store anything important on there - not that I would be anyway... Installation was very easy. I used a spare 120Gb Sata SSD I had lying around and dropped it in as drive 0 on the secondary IDE connection and it was picked up straight away. I cloned the original drive with Super Duper, removed the old drive and put the SSD on the primary connection - all working fine and a little bit of a speed bump. The orientation of the IDE and molex power connectors may be an issue if you don't have much wiggle room in your computer's case. Plus bare in mind there's no way to select master/slave on the board so depending on your use case this might cause you an issue. For me - this has worked perfectly and I intend to purchase another to upgrade a B&W G3 next. Why? Why not! /Andy
