It's running Windows XP SP2. The motherboard, in addition to the IDE HDD ports, has 2 SATA I ports. These are on the VIA chipset and they do not downgrade a SATA II device or higher down to SATA I. It's SATA one or the ports don't work. At first I set the jumpers on a SATA II HDD to force SATA I mode and that did work. But then I wondered if using this adapter and running the IDE cable to the new SSD that I cloned the original HDD to would be faster than the HDD SATA I drive. The answer is yes, this adapter with the SSD on the IDE channel is faster. One thing that is very interesting is that the original drive and the SSD have 3 NTFS partitions on them. The 2nd and 3rd partitions run significantly faster than the OS partion in CrystalDiskMark. I even re-arranged the partitions so that the C: partitiion/boot is 40GB and only 7% used and the CrystalDiskMark results aren't any better, so I guess that was not the reason. I don't know why the partitions produce different speed results. But the adapter works great. You have to be somewhat careful not to break it but now I have a new drive with my specialized apps on a 20 year old Windows XP system and it should run fine and at least 3x faster for a long time... (Don't worry, it's not connected to the internet.) Review: Perfectly solution for Samsung-equipped Xboxrs - Works perfectly as an alternative to the StarTech SATA to IDE Adapter, primarily for Xboxes equipped with Samsung-manufactured optical drives. Buy this instead if that's the case. ## Features - 3.5 inch SATA HDD Drive to IDE 40Pin mainboard converter Board - Works with all 2.5/3.5" SATA Drives. - Supports IDE 66/100/133MB/s - With Master and slave jumper. - No driver needed, plug and play, unit is not hot swappable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09GPGFLWB | | Best Sellers Rank | #37 in SATA Cables | | Brand | NFHK | | Color | green | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connector Type | sata | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 818 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inches | | Item Weight | 0.05 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inches | | Manufacturer | NFHK | | Model Number | EP-014 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | PC | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** green - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connector Type:** sata - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** PC ## Images ![SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5" Hard Disk Drive - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fTh0cmWUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great on a new SSD that was cloned from a 20 year old Pentium 4 system *by B***L on September 26, 2023* I have a legacy circa 2005 Pentium 4 based system that I want to keep running as is because it has specialized software running on it that cannot be re-installed on a fresh OS.

Buy this instead if that's the case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good adapter, can be made even better (Xbox owners READ THIS REVIEW) *by I***C on March 25, 2025* I bought this to replace the Hard Disk in a softmodded Xbox with a Samsung DVD drive. If you've got one of these consoles you know the Startech IDE2SATA adapter doesn't work with the DVD drive on the same IDE channel. THIS adapter does work with the DVD drive on the same channel, however it has suboptimal boot up speed from the factory. By adding a 100 ohm (Ω) resistor to pad R4 and a 10k ohm (Ω) resistor to pad RH1, boot times are cut from TWO whole minutes to about 45 seconds. If you're comfortable with surface mount soldering this is a fantastic deal for an adapter being less than half the price of the Startech equivalent. ## Frequently Bought Together - NFHK SATA Disk to IDE/PATA 40Pin Motherboard Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 2.5 3.5" Hard Disk Drive - 24" 40-Pin 80-Wire Ultra ATA 2-Drive Ribbon Cable, Manhattan 332781, Model:, Electronic Store - StarTech.com LP4 to 2X LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M/F - LP4 Splitter - Molex Y Splitter - Molex Splitter (PYO2L) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/391152805-sata-disk-to-ide-pata-40pin-motherboard-converter-adapter-pcba](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/391152805-sata-disk-to-ide-pata-40pin-motherboard-converter-adapter-pcba) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
