After many purchases, upgrades, the hands of the IDE hard disk more and more. Sold worthless, and threw out a pity. Sometimes want to put the hard drive to the computer, but now the computer only SATA interface, what to do?
The solution is very simple, using a transfer card can be done. Taobao station on the IDE to the SATA transfer card is very much, but most of the transfer card can not allow the transfer of the IDE hard disk for system disk use, only as a disk use, the transfer card price of 30 yuan. This can be used with the SATA connector on the motherboard even if the previously upgraded IDE optical drive is not available. However, it should be noted that the new and old hard drive collocation will often slow down the speed of the entire system. So the old hard drive is best used as a backup or download partition, so the impact will be relatively small.
