### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old Mac HD to SSD conversion

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent

Excellent, great quality and worked with no issues. Have jumper made it easy to setup as a second drive on the ide ribbon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sata drive to IDE converter that works well
*by J***S on October 31, 2025*

This product works great. I have three of them in one of my machine. To be clear, it converts a sata drive to IDE so it can be plugged into an old machine that is IDE only. It does not convert an IDE drive to sata. I have tried it on multiple HDDs and two optical drives. I have had no issues just leaving everything as cable select. If you want a device to convert an IDE drive to sata, try this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081YP2S5R. Unfortunately, StarTech doesn't seem to make one of these, so I have to plug one of their competitors instead.
