SATA to IDE adapters any good?

by robo_dev . Updated 15 years, 10 months ago

I am in the middle of rebuilding a server and have a beautiful extra 200 GB IDE drive, yet the new mobo has only SATA.

Do the SATA to IDE adapters work well?

e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186095

Do these work reliably? Do they work well, performance-wise?

Would it be better to buy a PCI card IDE adapter instead?

Or just punt and buy an external USB drive case?
