startech controllers work well. we use them here in the office.

I used to use these ide to sata adapters and never had a problem with them. I've never tried them with anything above 500gb either, those drives just weren't around back then.

what about this http://www.ebay.in/itm/Enter-2-in-1-IDE-to-SATA-SATA-to-IDE-Convertor-Adaptor-/321260480428?pt=IN_Computer_Components&hash=item4acc9de7ac&_uhb=1

can i use hdd and dvd drive with this same device or do i need to purchase new convertor for dvd drive?

legokill101 · Apr 18, 2014

like i said what you just link are notorious fore being incredibly flakey and never working quite right so i would steer clear and honestly unless you needed that driver it will be almost as cheap to buy a new 500gb drive

Gbz Goldenboyz · Apr 25, 2014

i have bought the item but it not works it dont even run it shows a red light but cant see the hdd

legokill101 · Apr 27, 2014

which one? if its the one you linked above theirs nothing i can do like i said they are notorusly unreliable

Gbz Goldenboyz · Apr 29, 2014

I have searched most shops for ide controller but cant find nothing they dont even know what is it

legokill101 · Apr 29, 2014

two things a ask for a pata (parallel ata) controler and second it might be to old so you might have to get it online

CharlesLam · Apr 30, 2014

IDE/pata controllers are not that old that reputable shops dont know what they are. if they dont know what it is, it is not worth a shop going to.

I would recommend buying a modern hard drive for your system. If you don't really need that old drive for data recovery etc. Your old drive would propably be a huge bottleneck for your system performance, also CD/DVD-RW combo drives should be available for less than 20$/€.
