I used the adapter to replace an old hard drive on an old ide pc dating 10 years (!). IDE hard drives were scarce (and expensive for their ability), I opted for this adapter that has replaced my old ide sata by dd 3. The adapter does his office but be careful trussing sata 3 because the flow of these concerns dd due to my old pc Once the new flanged dd (jumper), there were no problems. In the indications, it was also recommended for the SATA 1 or 2. In conclusion, very good article!
