Works just as it should, could use some insulation underneath.
I used this to enable me to use an older, 80 GB SATA drive in my Power Mac G4 with only an ATA interface. It truly is plug and play; it just works in there. One thing, however: on the SATA side facing the drive, there are all the bare solder points for the power and ATA headers facing toward the bare drive...which is metal. They just miss touching the drive, but I covered these all with electrical tape just to be sure there would not be a short.

Needs to be at end of IDE cable!
I used this to put a SATA III SSD on my IDE bus - and it worked but the data rate is under 3MBps. This renders it unusable. Plus whenever I do anything to the mounted SATA drive (open it, copy to it) my system gets hung up for like 10 seconds. So this adapter is useless to me. It's not really worth the hassle of returning so I will try something else.UPDATE: when I moved this to the end connector on the IDE cable (nothing else on cable), it suddenly came to life! So cable termination is muy importante, as in all high-speed data transfer applications. I'm now getting 30-80MBps with a SATA SSD, at least twice what the old hard drive will do. Works great! So, update to 5 stars.
