Review on Cablecc IDE/PATA 40Pin Disk to SATA Female Converter Adapter PCBA for Desktop & 3.5" Hard Disk Drive - Efficient Data Transfer Solution by Jair Baltrusch

I tested this unit in a sleeper case with the IDE DVD combo drive installed and it actually works. After using this adapter, I noticed that the computer not only does not recognize the hard drive, but also boots significantly slower than before adding it. The disc wouldn't even open. This computer started from 5 seconds to almost a minute. As soon as I removed it from the system, it booted again after 5 seconds.
