Kingwin SSD SATA to IDE Bridge Board Adapter – Convert Serial ATA Devices to IDE, Supports 2.5” & 3.5” HDD/SSD, Compatible with SATA I/II/III Hard Drives, Easy Plug & Play Installation

Works for IDE hard drives, but not for IDE DVD drives. For optical drives, look for adapters in which the power connector is wired and not directly attached to the circuit board.

Worked fine. No issues. Allowed me to attach an SSD to an old computer.

I purchased four different IDE to SATA adapters. This is one of the three that actually worked. However, I did find that I needed to update my AWARD BIOS from 1998 to one dated 8/17/2000, or some drives did not work (ironically, it was those under 137MB). Two things I could wish for: like most of these adapters, it only works as the ONLY IDE device on the cable - it will not function as a slave device, and it will not function as a master with a slave attached. This one was the only one of the four that has an activity LED. [Unfortunately, I managed to destroy mine - my own fault - by accidentally touching the power to it upside down - my stupidity for not turning off the power first, but I was in a hurry. Fortunately, the rest of the very old computer with some specialized cards in it survived.]

This was perfect for the retro project we were doing.

This adapter CAN work, but under very limited circumstances. It has not Master/Slave/CS jumper (it has a jumper but the labeling is weird, it's not documented, and a LOT of digging reveals that this isn't its function), it apparently needs UDMA disabled so good luck on machines with barebone BIOS settings, and the build quality is horrible -- some of the pins were loose on mine and had to be resoldered. I've had issues getting Windows XP (specifically) to boot using this thing on era-appropriate computers. I think this thing messes up the drive geometry before the bootloader is fully working. Other IDE to SATA adapters work perfectly with the same SATA drive.

Technically, I have not been able to test this yet, but the application is as an adapter hooking into an ADATA SU800 512GB 2.5inch SSD to replace the HDD in an aged Apple iMac G3 333MHz Lime edition all-in-one. I replaced the PRAM battery and am in the process of sourcing the correct maximum SODIMM RAM the thing will unofficially accept and only then will I know whether or not this test worked. The success of these things seems to depend entirely on the quality of the adapter and I've already head success with it as a bridge between an old HDD and a Windows 98SE project computer. The best part of this specific kind of IDE-to-SATA adapter is the presence of a jumper to set it to master or slave.

The Kingwin ADP-06 is always a MASTER IDE device and cannot be used to clone drives. It cannot be used to power a slave drive. It has no master/slave jumper. The jumper choice is IDE to SATA, or SATA to IDE. The original HDD is MASTER device and the new drive with the Kingwin adapter is also MASTER. You need a MASTER and SLAVE device to clone drives.

I had purchased this product in an effort to restore an old PowerMac G4. It word great with no fuss!

It works with the orginal Xbox but if I tryed to use my dvd drive, I would get a error message. So if you only play games throw your HDD this item will be fine.

Work perfectly for my old pc that use ide hard disk. Now i can use sata hard disk with my old win200 pc

El adaptador cumple su función. Yo lo he empleado para adaptar un SSD a una iMac G4 (lamp), reemplazando su HDD IDE (ya no se fabrican esos discos). Funcionó a la perfección. Sin hacer ninguna modificación.

Paired it with WD 120GB
