Perfect for OG Xbox 1TB HDD upgrade.
Perfect for OG Xbox 1tb HDD upgrade. Running for a year now with no issues. Love the extra connector for when you need to copy the drive, saved me the cost of an extra adapter. Don’t buy the cheap crap, get the good stuff.

Good for PCs, not great for Xbox
Works perfect for connecting SATA drives to IDE PCs but for Original Xboxes it has a few issues.Boot speeds were noticably slower than stock with a 1tb Western Digital HDD, and the DVD drive stopped recognizing discs as well. This behavior went away after going back to the original hard drive and ditching the adapter.I don't think it's StarTech's fault that the adapter didn't work exactly how I hoped. It's a quality product and I'm using it for a VERY niche use case.

Great Quality and Well Engineered
Pros:Has support for 48b LBA, ATA 33/66/100/133 MHz and 1.5/3.0 Gbps SATA.Really liked the included jumpers for setting Master/Slave/CS. Some other IDE/SATA adapters don't have this and force master only.The included documentation is clear and well-written.The form-factor of the board is smaller than other adapter boards I've seen. This can be helpful if there isn't much room at the back of the drive bay you're installing this into. The included power connector breaks out the Molex connector so it can be connected away from the back of the drive, saving a little more space.Cons:Another review mentioned this, it's not much of a con for me but I'll mention it: the IDE connection on the board is just two rows of pin headers. There is no extra support/alignment aid on the ribbon cable connection. It's probably not needed, and I'm not too put off by it, having 40 pins soldered into the board should have enough strength to prevent any bending/etc. The connection itself felt sturdy. But since there is no plastic border around the pins, you need to be sure the connector is properly aligned when seating the cable.Overall this is a great board and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. For the quality it is well worth the price.

Works fine every time I've used it if the drive was not fried.
Saves the day every now and then when a drive is needing a spin up and access via USB.

Works flawlessly with the Original XBOX
I recently picked up a broken original XBOX v1.1 from a thrift store for just $5, I fully restored it and once it was up and running I focused on TSOP flashing it, so I could upgrade the tiny capacity hard drive and load up my entire library on it. I picked a 512GB Timetec SSD, got an 80 pin IDE cable and just needed a compatible SATA to IDE adapter that would work with the OG XBOX. Several guides suggested this Startech unit, and so I ordered it. Sure enough, it picked up the SSD without issue and I could proceed to install Hexen and load up my library.Price is a little steeper than the generics, but if you're modding an OG XBOX this is a no brainer as it works perfectly. Recommended.
