Review on Enhance Storage Efficiency with StarTech.com 1 Port PCI Express IDE Controller Adapter Card - ATA - 133 MBps - PCIe x1 (PEX2IDE) by Devin Jirsa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The included IDE cable is a little short (18 ")

Finished running Windows 10 system with which I wanted to reuse two old IDE optical drives: DVD-ROM and DVD-RW. Replacing two Vantec IDE to SATA adapters that somehow work individually, but not both at the same time.However, the supplied IDE cable is only 18" suitable for connection to an IDE hard drive, which is usually deeper in the case, i.e. closer to the expansion slots but is too short for the ODD which is on the top of the case so I had to buy a 30" IDE cable separately.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
