Re: 4400/4200/4500/15000 SATA Adapters
Here is what you need to know about them, and has been said over and over, and not just by me....
1. They convert/adapt the ability to use the larger/cheaper SATA drive for use in some IDE/PATA Snaps.
2. They are intended for the 4400, 4200, 4500, 15000, and Snap Disk 10.
3. They work.
4. They are durable and not prone to "hicups" or other problems.
5. They work during extended and sustained use (this is key).
6. They work with the larger drives (tested with up to 2TB drives).
7. I don't know about 2.5TB or 3TB drives. I don't have any to test with.
8. GOS 4.2.x/4.4.x is required and 5.x.x is best.
9. You need 512MB memory, but 1GB or above is best.
10. The Mod part on your end is not hard.
11. The Mod does not prevent you from going back to IDE/PATA if you wanted to.
That's pretty much all you really need to know. Anyone who now has them feel free to comment or add to, "Pro or Con", what I said here if you wish.
