    Question IDE to SATA Converter

    Hi,

    I want to buy a IDE to SATA converter which you stick into the IDE port which allows you to use a SATA hard drive.

    BUT i have used both my IDE slots and was wondering if the floppy drive slot will do the same job.

    Er, no - totally different!

    If you want to use a SATA drive, get a PCI SATA controller (unless there also isn't a free PCI slot...

    Something like:

    (Note this isn't a recommendation, just an illustration of type of product.)
