SATA Pro - 120GB USB 2.0 $210.99
SATA Ultra 250GB USB 2.0 $291.99
-----------------------------------------
IDE to SATA Converter $13.99 (its on a retail value)

Units Price Shipping
1 $13.99 $4.99 ea
2+ $13.59 $3.47 ea.
2+ $12.99 $3.47 ea.
8+ $12.29 $2.17 ea.
-----------------------------------------

Works great, if you can figure it out
Reviewed By: on 1/11/2008 Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Well obviously this throws out the corporate gimmick of having to get rid of your old (or in my case pretty new) hard drives and fork out more cash for an SATA drive. I used the device on my dvd burners though.
Cons: Absolutely NO documentation. Even the description is a bit vague. For anyone that's wondering. This converts IDE HardDrives and CD/DVD drives to an SATA acceptable device to be plugged into an SATA port on your motherboard. Also. This was just my case, but my drives had to be jumpered both to master for this thing to work, and it's also a bit difficult to tell if the thing is plugged into all pins correctly. So don't throw it out if it doesn't pop up the first, third or fifth time.
Other Thoughts: More of these devices need to be made and marketed. There's a lot of people that have no clue these things even exist. I think there would be a broad consumer base for people upgrading their desktops that don't want to toss out their reliable IDE HardDrives. Documentation would DEFINITELY be nice, as well as maybe fixing the ID connector so it fits in snuggly.
----------------------------------------------

There ya go i really hope you find what your looking for have a nice day Wink

Believe he was talking about a USB HardDrive or something.
Download this. Then run it, get a screen shot of the 'Mainboard' tab, and post it here. We'll help with drivers once we know your motherboard information.
