deano3and8 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I bought a cheap sata to ide adaptor to do a 2tb install, after completion I was getting crazy long wait times for the xbox to even load it was such a disappointment . Buy cheap buy twice! I have a startech one now and it works fine completely night and day. This forum has helped me loads already thank you.

Benur75 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I don't have any problem with this one, but I always change capacitors by panasonic caps, and check twice all solders. This adapter only use 5V even if the 12V is conected bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have 2 of the same and both work fine. But the first of them had a solder bridge on the controler chip which i have fixed. Maybe you have se same problem and maybe it could help to resolder the joints on the resisors and caps and power like i did on both of mine. The original used solder is horrible. But i also have to admit that i bought both as amazon deal for 5 euros each so for me it was worth the hassle. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have several of them in use and I have only had one faulty in the last 3 years and that did not work at all. I have had more problems with the IDE leads than the adapters. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
