SATA to IDE Converters

[Guest]

I am in the middle of upgrading my system. I will be upgrading my
motherboard to one that has several SATA inputs on it, but in the mean time I
am using an Intel D875PBZ motherboard and I already have two WD Raptors
plugged into it in a RAID 0 config. I just bought a Diamondmax SATA drive,
which will be an awesome secondary HD, but until I upgrade the motherboard
that has multiple SATA connectors on it, I must temporarily convert the SATA
Diamondmax to an IDE format. I know nothing about these SATA to IDE
Converters. Which converter is the best one to buy? Brand? Model? PLEASE
HELP...

Im not sure that there is a thing as a converter...
I would probably think you need an IDE controller PCI card, and install it
and connect the IDE hardrives there.

One more thing - Since theses adapters are not cheap you should just upgrade
the motherboard right away instead of wasting that money on adapters.

for 44$ he could get a PCI controler as I said

The truth is one, you must accept it. Reality is not a point of view, since
if everything was a point a view, then the theory that everything is a point
of view, is just a point a view and not something real.
