IDE to SATA email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 84/100. hacker4ever (220)4 months ago

Hi, I have an extra 40GB Maxtor IDE Hard drive connected to IDE interface. I'm just wondering, I found out IDE to SATA Adaptors. I have vacant sata ports on my mobo. Will this thing work if I will connect my IDE HD with IDE/SATA adaptor to a SATA port?

you can connect ide to sata port through ide sata connector. it may work propery however you will not get much benifit on performance if that is the intension connection ide to sata. to get better read/ write performance on harddisk you must use sata on sata port.
