SATA TO PATA CONVERTOR - HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT?
Hi all - I have been offered some 250GB SATA drives each with a convertor to PATA as a solution. The drives are ST3250823AS and have the same specs as the ST3250823A - the question I have is will it work? and how will it perform ? I am also worried about power consumption and heat issues also...- njlippard
