Boot to SATA from old drive

By Robert Govier.
Posted 02/04/2009

I have an old Shuttle SN41G2 with only IDE connections, which I wanted to upgrade with a big hard drive. I didn't want to spend my money on a drive I couldn't transfer to a new computer in the future, so I purchased a SATA drive from Dabs and a Pata to Sata cheap from ebay. After getting two adapters DOA from Hong Kong I decided to spend a bit more on this item from Dabs. This was the right move! The adapter allows me to boot into Windows XP from the SATA drive with no additional drivers required. I haven't noticed any speed issues, and the adapter is small enough to fit inside even the cramped shuttle case. My only criticism... £20 seems high but I guess that comes with peace of mind from buying from a UK retailer with a good reputation!
