Have to be careful
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.
