37 customers mention "Works well"33 positive4 negative

Customers say the adapter works well. They say it works seamlessly in an original Xbox to allow for the use of massive SATA drives. It works great for upgrading HDD inside an original Xbox, putting a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive and DVD-ROM into Windows 98 SE, and connecting a 3.5-inches SATA hard drive to an IDE port without any setup.

"Works great on the Xbox classic. It is faster than the cheap chinese counterparts. It is smaller than them as well...." Read more

"...But this seems to be the only one to do master/slave/cable select. If you need Cable Selected as I did, you have no choice...." Read more

6 customers mention "Pin location"0 positive6 negative

Customers are unhappy with the pin location. The IDE pins were not oriented as expected, and the slot to connect to is straight pins off the board. There is no shield around the connector pins, which makes them vulnerable to bent or damaged pins.

"...As opposed to a standard plastic ATA socket, this adapter uses a pin header...." Read more

"...There is no 'slot' to connect to, it's straight pins off the board so if you plan on connecting and disconnecting the cable from this adapter more..." Read more

"...the reason for only 4 stars is the fact that the IDE header on this adapter is only pins no Shield so there is a big chance of bending a pin." Read more

"...project where there was very little clearance, and the IDE pins were located a little lower and rotated the opposite way that I had hoped...." Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beware the pin header
    Reviewed in Canada on January 14, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This product is fantastic. Much better than the cheap options available on facebook. Upon receipt I was blown away by the weight of the product compared to the cheap one I was sending back. Typical Startech quality on full display here.

    The Good:
    - Works seamlessly in an original xbox to allow for the use of massive SATA drives (I used it to max out the 2TB limitation of the hardware)
    - Made with good materials
    - Includes a molex passthrough to chain the adapter between a source and another drive
    - Includes jumpers to allow master/slave/cable select
    - The power adapter attaches parallel to the board, freeing up space in otherwise craped situations

    The Bad:
    - Both sides of the board is left entirely exposed, inviting shorts. Would highly recommend taping off the back of the board, regardless of use
    - The power cable uses the mini-molex plug used by legacy floppy drives, meaning you need to use the included cable to power the adapter. Not a deal breaker, but extra, unnecessary, wires always suck

    The Ugly:
    - As opposed to a standard plastic ATA socket, this adapter uses a pin header. Your IDE ribbon will fit fine, but it seems to attach muss less sturdy

    This device is 300% of the price of competing cheap options, but it is largely worth it to have a one-and-done solution. If you're looking to upgrade your original xbox hard drive in 2021, you really can't go wrong with this.

    Worked perfectly to upgrade the HDD of my Original Xbox. I tried 3 other ones that were cheaper, all were incompatible. This one worked perfectly and had the convenience of having an extra 4 pin cable to power on both HDD at the same time for the swap. This one had the jumper for master/cable/slave which was quite useful do clone the original HDD. It was a bit more difficult to tuck in the extra 4 pin cable in the console but it worked nonetheless.

    5.0 out of 5 stars works for OG xbox and new HDD
    Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I used this to add a 2TB hdd to my Xbox Crystal. Works without any type of setup. I'm not too confident about the tiny foam bumper to keep the board from touching the HDD case and shorting out so I put my own foam on, cutting holes for the chips so they don't overheat. I will also add some protection on the outside, not a fault of the product, it's just for my piece of mind while trying to stuff it back in the xbox. 5 stars because it does exactly what I wanted it to do. 3 stars because of the small foam protection pad.

    5.0 out of 5 stars YES! Working with an other disk on the IDE cable.!
    Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I've been trying to make run an Intel SATA SSD 80Gb on a Dual Pentium 3 machine as a Master (system Windows XP), with an other 200Gb IDE in Slave (storage/backup).
    After tried a bunch of SATA to IDE adapters, they all behave the same way: working fine alone, cannot boot when use with an other disk on the IDE cable. At this point I was thinking that maybe the SSD doesn't support master/slave status.
    But the Startech one works right of the bat, plug, detected quickly both the SATA SSD and IDE, and boot on my system.
    I haven't test the speed, but just having access to the system and the storage for the first time is a huge win for me.
    The adapter have a proper Master/Slave/Cable Select and an ACD for optical drive.
    The IDE connector doesn't have a shrould, so yes be careful when you plug your ribbon cable.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but be cautious of soft PATA pins.
    Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I bought two of these so that I could use modern SSDs in my OG Xbox and PowerMac G4. The adapters work perfectly, but be cautious when inserting and removing your PATA/IDE cable. When switching cables, I accidentally bent two of the pins slightly outwards; I was able to bend them back into place, but this adapter isn't something you want to continuously move between drives/devices. It's more of a one-and-done thing, I'd say.

    So bought this to mod an original xbox, couple things you should know before purchasing. There is no 'slot' to connect to, it's straight pins off the board so if you plan on connecting and disconnecting the cable from this adapter more than once, it's not hard to bend them, still works but they're bent. Also you should use some electrical tape to tape across the exposed connectors on the adapter, it's been known to have shorts if it touches the wrong thing in your machine so just to be safe tape across the exposed connectors under the pins. Other than that sturdy built and well made, great for what I needed it for.
