IDE to Sata adapter....

[kenmo]

I upgraded one of my four computers from a Socket A mobo to a newer AM2 mobo. The newer mobo only has one ide channel and two SATA ports. I have 3 IDE hard drives and one DVD-Rw/+Rw burner...

I know I can purchase a pci IDE card as I already have two of them by Promise in two other computers. But I would prefer to use an IDE to SATA adapter. I've seen them listed but I was wondering if there are any issues with them?

Thanks kindly...

instead of using a IDE to SATA adapter buy a PCI CONTROLLER CARD for your hard drives. or buy a PCI CONTROLLER CARD w/the SILICON IMAGE CHIPSET for your dvd burner. PROMISE CHIPSET's will not work crorrectly with DVD BURNERS. just my 2 cents!

Sorry...but as I mentioned in my first post, I know about pci ATA controller cards... As I said I already have two...

I'm asking about ide to sata adapters. That is what I'm asking.

you'll have to read the reviews and get one that specifically works with optical drives
