Most helpful customer reviews 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. ROLLED THE DICE.......SNAKE EYES By Robert M. Caudle WELL NO LUCK FOR ME WITH THIS PRODUCT. I ASSEMBLE MY OWN COMPUTERS, SET THIS DEVICE CORRECTLY, THE COMPUTER RECOGNIZES THE DRIVE AND INSTALLS THE OS BUT THEN THE MBR IS CORRUPTED. MY GUESS IS THIS DEVICE MAY WORK BETTER FOR SECONDARY DRIVES THAT DO NOT CONTAIN THE OPERATING SYSTEM. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not for Blu ray By Juan Carlos Rubio This converter does not work for Blu ray drives. BIOS and Vista Ultimate immediately recognized it, but when I put in a Blu ray movie it NEVER played! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. It works, but not as advertised By J. Knapp Running this adapter on an Intel D945GCLF2 with a Cavalry 64GB SSD. When using 80 conductor IDE cables (ATA-100 on my board), I experienced severe data read issues. As soon as I switched to a UDMA-33 cable (40 conductor), the drive reads were fine. This adapter is rated at ATA-100/ATA-133, but don't you believe it! That said, even at UDMA-33, performance is acceptable, and I purposely went for the cheap adapter & SSD drive. BTW, the SSD drive performed marvelously on a SATA port - Windows Storage Server 2008 desktop loaded in just under 4 seconds after reboot and logon... =0 See all 12 customer reviews...
