Has anyone here had experience with IDE to SATA converter and can recommend a good one? I'm really interested in getting rid of rounded IDE cables because after seeing the sexy sleek SATA cables... well my rounded cables just seem bulky :p
 
The SATA/IDE adapters work fine. Just don't expect to get SATA speeds on a IDE drive, the adapter only changes the physical connection not the throughput speed.

(P.S. You can send those rounded cables my way :) :) )
 
I wouldn't think it would work much slower than their respective counterparts, because as far as I know seagate is the only company with native SATA. The others like Western Digital, Maxtor, Hitachi, all seem to be using internal converters... correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I saw this somewhere.
 
I saw them on a supplier catalog once. Personally I am going to run my current motherboard into the ground before i worry about SATA.

A few reasons :-
* I have my IDE set up all ready, it would cost me more.
* I went to a Seagate Launch 3 months ago, and there is going to be a lot of new developments with SATA over the next 12 months.
