Works very well

I upgraded my old PC. I couldn't avoid changing my motherboard. I wanted to keep my IDE hard drive. It works perfectly. I confirm that the HDD must be in the CS position. This was not the goal, but I tried to boot and it worked. So I recommend.
I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product.

Unfortunately, it does not work!

The TRENDNET IDE to SATA adapter does not work. I tried a few IDE hard disks and several motherboards, but nothing worked, the disk was not recognized. One of the cards even refused to boot, fortunately without damage. Without connecting a disk, the result is identical. I'm not sure if I'm going to use the service department because of the cost of the part and the package (including travel, loss of time, etc.).

Does not work

I have tried all possible combinations of connections but nothing works, the hard drive is not recognised...

Maybe the hard drive is broken, I wouldn't know anytime soon.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a look at the installation steps.

bootable

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how to get it to work.
