Ide To Sata Adaptation
Customers have had mixed results when using this adapter for converting older IDE drives to SATA interface. While some were able to successfully connect newer SATA drives to older motherboards, others experienced inconsistent or unsuccessful connections. The lack of compatibility with cloning software and the inability to function as a master or slave device are also noted concerns.
Highlights
Quality
With this adapter, my softmodded original xbox is able to boot properly without any issue as the dashboard shows up just like it should.

Important note hddssd upgrade can be a lot more tricky than expectedyes like others have mentioned you will also need to purchase an 40pin 80wire ultra ata 2drive ribbon cable ideally 24 inch to be able to perform your hdd upgrade

Its possible that it was faulty because ironically in my case even if it has the master slave pins unfortunately its unable to boot the dashboard as it seems to function only as a slave with my wd blue 1tb sata ssd which was a real bummer quite frankly

Thats why i had to purchase this one to complete the upgrade which does not have the master slave pins but at least it works as expected as a master once the cloning process is over

I get the impression that some of the previous reviewers the ones who said that this product doesnt work for performing a sofmodded original xbox hdd upgrade probably tried using this adapter as a slave only

While in fact if they would have had the other chip as mentioned above that they would have tested this one as well booting the console after the cloning process is done they probably would have realized that this chip works as intended if it was used specifically to boot the console then they would have seen the dashboard show up

Conclusionin other words if you ever end up buying the supposedly recommended adapter the one with the 2 capacitors the master slave pins on it and that once you have performed your hdd or ssd upgrade

If your xbox doesnt boot up properly that you get an infinite black screen or a microsoft fatal error message right after the xbox logo shows up
