I use the adapter for approx 6 months to operate in an older PC without free PCI slot a new SATA drive to the IDE port. In principle, that was just connect, turn, operating system from the old disk clone -> runs. Of course, the board would run much faster on a new motherboard, but I have upgraded the old fileserver for little money.
For not particularly tech-savvy contemporaries should be noted that the mini leaflet just as sufficient to remove the adapter into operation, the layman would be there probably overwhelmed.
Since the device but works fine, costs little and can also operate very large plates, I give 5 stars.
