StarTech.com M.2 to SATA Adapter - Dual Slot - for 2.5in Drive Bay - RAID - M.2 SSD - M.2 Adapter - M.2 SSD Adapter (S322M225R)

This is for the bi directional Sata <> IDE adapter. I only tested this by connecting IDE drives to my Sata only motherboard.It does what it's supposed to. 1/4 IDE drives were working and in excellent condition, the others were showing signs of head failure (clicking, freezing) which is probably due to the age of the drives and not the fault of this adapter.The way the adapter attaches to the drives is very tight and because of how far back it extends from the drive, it is very easy to snap off the ide connector on the drive if you're not extremely careful. You will have to attach the other cables beforehand to avoid stressing the hdd ide connector.Nearly everything you could possibly need is provided. A single Molex+ , Molex- and FDD power connector cable takes input molex from your power supply, the other molex connector goes into the drive and the FDD connector powers the Startech adapter itself. A sata cable (provided) then connects the adapter to the motherboard. If you don't have spare molex psu cables like i did, you will need a sata to molex adapter.The device itself has an led that sometimes lights up orange and other times red. It would have been nice if the manual indicated what these leds indicate especially with my faulty drives.

Used this to adapt 2008 VHS/DVD combo player to use uodated super multidisk DVD. Worked great.

This is my second purchase. RAID1 is useful. Thanks.

Used on a mini pc for media-serveur

Issues, Troubleshooting and solve for me below:Originally thought it was a driver issue with Windows 10 and tried to find drivers (There are none). Would reboot about 5 times and the device would start working again.Used in a 2 TB configuration with two Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA drives. My original StarTech.com Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5 SATA RAID Adapter Converter device started to fail about a year ago and on 09 13 2021 completely failed. It would show three green led lights and two orange\red lights. Normal light activity is three green and blinking when accessing the drives.I purchased this replacement and did not change the jumpers and it recognized my configuration (2 TB mSATA drives setup as one drive) and I did not loose any data installing it on a Windows 10 (May 2021 update) OS. Hardware failure after warranty expired (Several years).This is used in a gaming\video setup.

Me ha servido para lo que necesitaba y funciona muy bien.
