I would pay a little extra for a mobo that has an IDE port on it rather than using an adapter.
Or I would just pay a few bucks for a SATA drive.
Thanks Ken. A new mobo(1155 platform) with an IDE port(according to newegg) would cost $75 more than what I just paid. A 500GB 3.0 Sata Drive costs about the same. So, if my adapter doesn't work, I'll get a new SATA drive.
