Works well (Xbox!) - especially if you need the primary/secondary selection
As described in the title - this works really well with the original Xbox. I wanted to drop in a SATA solid state drive to replace a 22 year old mechanical drive (that hadn't been powered on for at least a decade until recently!). Somehow the original drive still worked but I didn't want to risk it.This adaptor has worked perfectly (although I did need to pick up an 80 pin IDE cable from Amazon for a couple of quid). I've bought IDE to SATA adapters in the past - I went with this one specifically this time for its ability to be switched between primary and secondary IDE channels (that's a blast from the past!). It made it easier for cloning the original drive.Good value.

Does the job
Worked great on an Xbox, just remember to use the jumper appropriately as you may think something has gone wrong but actually the jumper just needed changing.

Fiddly to fit and slow, but did the job
Bought this to retrieve the contents of three IDE drives. A bit fiddly to get into place, but it picked up the first drive no problem. It took absolutely ages to transfer the contents though, speed was no higher than 4-5MB/s (I don't remember IDE being THAT slow!). Nonetheless, it did the job. Unfortunately, it did not detect the other two drives. They span up but nothing happened. Could easily be the drives themselves though.Overall, for the cost, I'm happy and would recommend with caution. It's just a bit slow.

Doesn’t seem to work
Does not work, I tried 3 different hard drives and 1 ssd, but no matter what I did or what settings I tried I could not get the bios to detect the hard drive.

it works!
Many of these modules don't - this one does! and it has master/slave jumper which is. important for some systems

Bought for OG Xbox HDD upgrade
Works perfect with stock IDE cable and 3tb sata hd

Good stuff
I already have a similar device, but the transfer is much worse. Thanks to USB 3.0, data transfer is more stable and faster, and additional external power is necessary for old HDDs

totally useless..
totally useless.. unfortunately I didn't get around to trying them till several months later and found they just don't seem to really work.. old motherboard said SATA SSD and refused to use it (stopped booting with an error), then an older SATA HD worked enough to attempt to install windows XP but failed to boot due to a missing file (worked absolutely fine with an actual IDE drive!).. may try on a couple of other boards but will see if the more expensive StarTech one works instead.
