Hello Forum, I Want To Buy 320 GB SATA HDD . But I Have Only IDE Ports . Currently I am Founding SATA To IDE Converters ( Made By China ) Available in The Market . But I Don't Know - Are Those Converters Good or Not ? Will Those China Converters Damage The Hard Disk ? Can I Boot Computer By The Converters ? I am Totally Confused . So, Any Kind Of Suggestions Will Be Highly Appriciated . - Thanks - Night Eagle
It's not worth the risk. Converters can be faulty or might even damage in the future which might result in a loss of data. Stay quite and and get a regular IDE HDD.
