I bought 2 to recycle a DVD player and an IDE hard drive on a motherboard that supports only SATA. No manual is provided, basically, it's system D. The adapter must be supplied in addition to the device. The power supply cable is provided but it monopolizes a molex, it would be wise to provide a Y-connector to connect the two on the same molex. Then it runs in 2 directions. Next the sense used, connect the SATA table on one of the two adapter ports. But IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE, what does that mean? Starting from the device to be connected, or starting from the motherboard? I tried the 2 adapters, I tried on 2 SATA ports on the motherboard, with 2 different layers on the hard drive and the DVD drive, I tried on 2 adapter ports, I ' have tampered with the BIOS of my motherboard (remember to pass the motherboard IDE controller mode, not AHCI or RAID, basically, if you have RAID, you can scratch), I managed to do it walking randomly. On a boot, it works (but device discovery is very slow), the boot after, without changing anything, the device is not detected. When I got it to work, I tried to install Windows from the DVD and I got a blue screen after 30s. Conclusion, I installed Windows via a USB drive, everything works without nickel ... my IDE devices. I am to buy me a drive and a SATA hard drive. I have not tried the other way, it works maybe less bad.
