Cool
These adapters are the only ones I use for my modded Xboxs they are a bit more expensive. But they work with 500gig + hard drives and that's what matters. My only gripe with them is the ide part doesn't have a plastic cage around it and it is extremely easy to bend the pins on one side when pulling the cable off. So be careful! Read full review...

not fully compatable
like most items that claim to perform this function, it is not fully PATA compatible, the failures can be sporadic making the problem hard to diagnose, and with some drives it simply refuses to initialize. i have tried many of these converters over the years and they never fail to disappoint. even when a fully functional product is found, the same model, often from the same batch, doesn't operate properly.
this specific model seems to be consistent in it's failures, so that was a plus, however it falls short even compared to models that are 1/4 of the price. i tested 3 of these boards on a wide range of motherboards, including 2 original xboxes, and the results were fairly typical of this type of product. failure mixed with success across the board with few common circumstances, and with no discernible pattern. for instance, the xboxes didn't work until i switched the phillips dvd drives with different phillips dvd drives. these products are infuriating to work with, and this item is no exception.
if you decide to spend 20$ on this instead of 4$ on a comparable product, you get warranty and support service (ha ha), a small piece of rubber glued to the back of it to "prevent" short circuiting between the board and drive, and jumper posts that aren't missing like on most other models.
for some reason they decided not to mount the status LED's on the items i received, but if you have a collection of surface mount components and a SM soldering kit, you can add them yourself...don't forget the resistors.Read full review...

One of THE BEST convertors
So far no issues with this adaptor. Very easy and simple to install with makings on the adaptor. Come with nice professional packaging . What makes this adaptor stand out is that 1. Its made in Taiwan 2. It uses Marvell chipset which is very reliable. Highly Recommend!Read full review...

Bring old systems new life.
I had an old IDE based desktop PC that was in need of a upgrade to SSD for its boot drive. I got this adapter to do the job. This device was exceptional. I was of good quality and fit the job very well. You cannot go wrong with this adapter. I recommend it highly.Read full review...

Does the job.
Used this adapter to modify a hd from an original Xbox unit. This part comes with labels for setting up the hd from slave to master and vice versa. Better than any generic on the market. However, no LED power indicator.Read full review...
