Hey Bruce, funk and phantomrage: Have any luck with the SATA II to IDE adapter for SSD? I'd sure like to replace my internal HD with SSD before it fails miserably !!

Hey jchandler;

I will have to take one of my removable drive bays caddies apart to see if I can find any info on the adaptor.

I looked at the ones I have not in a caddie and there was no usable or readable info on them.

Stay tuned.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Jim;

Below is all that is printed on my SATA adaptor.

"HXSP-0908, IDE TO SATA V1.2"

They came in Static free plastic bags withe following printed on the outside

"SKU269484-2Z70 EVK"
0116--0--14795 C-P-11-18"

I think as long as the adaptor (Converter) is SATA II or SATA I it shouldn't matter. These things do not cost much anyway, so I did some trial and error and never had a problem with what I bought. One gave me start up issues, but once started it was fine. All the others just worked!

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce ! I will look this item up and buy one. The one I use apparently has issues with certain SD cards. I'm thinking not enough buffer when writing to slower cards.

Jim, yes high quality cards are a must. I have friends who use the studio live and even those they said high quality cards are a must.

phantomrage: I do use high quality Sandisk 95Mb/s cards when recording live with good results as they can read/write nearly as fast as the old UDMA(?) 100/133 spec. I used to use the slower cards just for backup/archival work, but now can't trust them to not be corrupted when writing to them--like I mentioned, I think there isn't any (or at least not enough) buffer on the IDE/SD interface to allow writing to slow cards. My old slow cards are now relegated to MP3's which get played in the motorhome through a USB adapter. LOL!
Stay in touch!

The adapters are pretty generic. I'm surprised they have any buffer at all. Good to know you are still having success with the adapter.

Check this out: http://www.addonics.com/products/adidesd.php
I might use an SD/IDE adaptor in the extra PCI slot
