IDE to SATA bridge for legacy drives

This green adapter board connects a Parallel ATA hard drive or optical device to a host Serial ATA port using a JMicron JM20330 bridge chip. The vertical IDC 2×20 pin connector mates directly with the drive while the SATA signal connector plugs into the motherboard or controller.

Suits owners of 40 GB to 750 GB IDE drives needing

Builders who require support for drives larger than 750 GB or who need a 6 Gbps SATA III link should look at other solutions because this unit tops out at 1.5 Gbps and the stated capacity ceiling.

150 MB/s maximum throughput decides fit

The JMicron bridge delivers up to 150 MB/s over SATA I and SATA II, so the adapter is appropriate when that bandwidth meets the workload but not when higher sustained rates are required.

Questions about this item

What power connector does the included Y-shape cable use for the IDE drive?

The Y-shape DC power cable has red, black and yellow wires that plug into the IDE drive's standard 4-pin Molex power input.

Will the adapter recognise a 750 GB IDE drive on an older motherboard with only SATA I ports?

Yes, the JMicron JM20330 bridge supports any brand drive from 40 GB up to 750 GB and works with SATA I and SATA II motherboard inputs.

How can I confirm the bridge is running at the advertised 1.5 Gbps burst rate after installation?

Check the device manager or dmesg output for the JMicron JM20330 enumerating at SATA 1.5 Gbps and verify sustained reads approach 150 MB/s with a benchmark tool.
