  1. So my previous setup was using a cheapo sata/ide converter with a 80 wire cable, which actually worked pretty well, I haven't had any issues with it, but I decided to try the startech adapter too just to see if there was in fact a difference in loading times instead and I encounter a weird issue. I'm running IND 5003 bios and when I boot the xbox the flubber animation is very choppy and the audio doesn't sync up. It does load to the dashboard but the boot-up is pretty glitchy. I tried another ide cable and messed around with the pin settings with no avail. I could just disable the flubber animation but I'd like to try and get it running smoothly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  2. SO!!! I am frustrated. I had been using the cheapo sata/pata converters (ordered several on reports that the odd one may fail), the first xbox i had worked fairly good for a number of months on one and seemed fine. Just recently a second Xbox found its way into my basement... the adapter didnt work well so i expressed this to the seller and i got new ones. Now... This is where it hits the fan. The next one fried an HDD, it went together powered up and the drive started to SMOKE!!! The motor ic chip on the PCB of the drive MELTED, i had just taken it out of a functioning desktop!!! OK, so on closer inspection of the other replacements are LOADED With corrosion!! The CAPS have let go aeons ago!!! the firsts sata connector crumbled when removed from the smoking drive (likely what caused the short) but looking at them they have corrosion all over the place Firstly i need to open facepalm myself till the cows come home for not inspecting these with a fine tooth comb p[rior to install, but christ.. i am the end consumer!!! Secondly.. WHAT THE HELL!!!>!>>!> Im out a drive and am probably entitled to a whole whack more of these bastards... id rather just go out and blast the rest of my HDD's with buckshot to celebrate new years!! so now im going from a 7$ solution up to the 32$ startech solution??? Is there no in between? HUGE DISCLAIMER HERE, THOSE GREEN PCB SATA PATA ADAPTERS.... FUCK IT, i got them from hottestdealsever on both amazon and ebay, they SUCK MEGA DONG and trust me, there is a real threat to losing a drive here, all you guys with big expensive drives heed my warning, these are really really bad. you would never think that the caps were blown out and the thing was this big of a mess. UNBELIEVABLE. . Anyone got any thoughts on this? any way to fix these up or are they just poor by design?
