Purchased this to add a 1Tb sata drive to an old Shuttle XPC. Was delighted when the system saw and then formatted the drive. All of this was done with the cover off of the Shuttle.
Buttoned everything back up. Approx. 30 minutes later the drive was no longer visible to the system. Shut everything down, let the system cool a bit and the drive was visible on reboot. As the system warmed up (it's a small case) the drive disappeared again.
Returning this product as it seems to be overly heat sensitive and, therefore, not reliable.
couldnt get it to work on

I tried to get this to work in my wifes computer with an IDE cable and a SATA optical drive and it would only read discs once in a while and would freeze up most of the time. The drive was fine i put the drive in my computer with sata cable hookup and drive is fine converter not worth the time on optical drive

Haven't had much trouble with it. Installation was easy since I'm familiar with desktop hardware. It was not a problem to figure out ''which way it should go'' because of the design which is based off of the back of a hard drive. At times it seems that the transfer maybe a little slow but I'm willing to bet that's either a hard drive or memory issue. I was replacing a burned out IDE HD with a SATA 1TB HD using this board to connect the two.
May not work for you

I tried to get this to work with an IDE cable and a SATA optical drive and it would only read discs once in a while and would freeze up most of the time. The drive was fine.
After the third one, I got one that worked.

Not sure about the quality of the converter but I cannot say enough about the quality of Tiger Direct Staff. They are great!!
I went through three converts before I got one that worked. Tiger Direct was very polite and helpful. They simply replaced the item until I received one that worked. The third one lit up and my hard drive works great. I am satisfied!
