Review: happy - working perfect
Review: If you're trying to re-use your old IDE DVD burners to save yourself the $25 to $30 for a new SATA DVD burner when moving to a new motherboard with only SATA and no PATA IDE (ribbon cable connectors), these adapters will do the job for about 1/3rd the cost of a new burner. Or, if you'd like to switch your BIOS IDE settings over to "SATA -AHCI" instead of "Legacy IDE" or "Native IDE" for newer versions of Windows, these work perfectly. I tested on an old Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6 DDR2 motherboard running an old Athlon 64 x 2 from back around 2010, now running Win10 Pro 22H2. The motherboard has the old original PATA IDE (Parallel ATA IDE) using ribbon cables, and the old, original version of SATA running at 3GB/s .... ....IDE DVD burner drives installed were the LiteOn DH20A4H and the Sony / OptiArc AD-7200A....with jumper set to MASTER on both of them. ...Tested compatibility and burn speeds with and without SATA adapter installed, using free Nero DiscSpeed test utility, and found burn speeds virtually identicle on both drives, and regardless of BIOS IDE settings : "Legacy IDE" "Native IDE'" or "SATA to AHCI," and left BIOS set to "SATA to AHCI" since Windows since Win7? prefers it. This Win10 installation was originally done in "Native IDE" BIOS mode, so Win10 required one or two restarts after switching BIOS mode to AHCI while it loaded AHCI drivers...but finally came up and running fine. I also noticed a minor point ...with BIOS IDE set to "SATA to AHCI" mode, Win10 seemed to boot faster.... ....and another minor point, the adapters are not mechanically held onto the drives by anything but the adapter, and with all those cables and power hanging off of them, seemed shaky/delicate, so I think I'm going to dab a little hot glue between the adapter and the back of the drives to hold the board on there better and make them stronger. There's also NO printed documentation with each adapter. I tried skipping using the power jumper from adapter to drive, just plugging directly into drive from power supply, instead of SATA power to the adapter, but that did not work....I'm kind of surprised board can pass enough power through it, to the drive, to run it. As for older reports / reviews of poor quality workmanship of the circuit boards, I looked both that I ordered over closely with a magnifying glass before plugging them in and powering up, and found no poor solder, no short-circuits, and no broken power connector or bent pins, despite receiving both in small, unpadded plastic bags....lucky I guess ? They did also have a strip of black foam insulating tape on the back of each board where it goes up against the sheet metal of the back of the DVD burner when plugged in....so make sure that tape is intact and adhering well to the board when you first receive the adapter. I've read that the burning laser diode in CD/DVD burners has a limited lifespan and will burn out or weaken eventually, so I wonder if it's "false economy" to be buying these adapters for old drives I've had for years, instead of just buying new drives for ~$25, but admittedly these adapters do work well to switch over to SATA....So, if you need 'em, they'll do fine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with ide cd-rom drives?**
A: Haven't tested it with cd-rom, works with hdd so it might.

**Q: The device has both molex and sata power connectors. does it function with either connected or does it need both?**
A: The Molex connector provides power to an IDE drive. The SATA power connector connects to the computer's SATA power supply cable.

**Q: Will this   convert  an ide  enclosure to a sata enclosure ?**
A: I've only used it on old IDE drives in modern SATA desktops. According to the product decsription, it should work in the other direction. 
The SATA connectors of the converter board are male.  So you would need female-to-female SATA connectors or cables between the converter and the SATA drive.
Also, there are no mounting holes on the converter board.

**Q: Does this come with a jumper?**
A: It came with the molex power to compact four-pin shown in the image IIRC.
