@Scudmaster11 3 года назад

a hdd has complete data speed of 50MB - 80MB... IDE has a limit of 133MB

@Scudmaster11 3 года назад

and 50MB to 80MB goes for IDE and SATA hdd’s

@AICvideo 3 года назад

@@Scudmaster11 What? you make no sense. This is an IDE100 Speed interface. Obviously a sata SSD is MUCH faster than that, so you're not getting the full speed of the SATA drive, but you're still getting a much faster experience than with a hard drive since you basically have no seek time, and it also produces less heat, less noise and consumes less power. It is also far more reliable than a hard drive.

Thanks for this! I'm going to be upgrading my old IBM ThinkPad A21M with this. I bought one eBay about 5 years ago and completely forgot about it as I only used it a handful of times and had it in storage. It wasn't until I was looking through my storage that I found it again. Man, its been a long time since I've worked with PATA drives.

@lilkuz2005 Год назад

Hey, i know this is an old video, but if anyone reads these comments, the adapter is capable of much faster speeds. I bought the exact same adapter with a samsung 128gb msata ssd. I have mine installed in an older laptop then the one in this video, its a dell inspiron 8100 with windows xp sp3, ATTO disk benchmark is hitting 80MB/s on reads and 75MB/s on writes. If you do this upgrade you need to make sure your storage controller is using UDMA and not PIO mode. You can check this in device manager, find your IDE/ATA ATAPI Storage controller and right click and go to properties, at the top click advanced settings and see what the current settings are, if it says PIO mode you want to change it to DMA, reboot and test it with ATTO disk benchmark. My old dell inspiron 8100 has a maximum of UDMA mode 5, that's ata100, UDMA mode 6 is ata133. this adapter /SSD combo is ata133. I hope this helps someone that does this swap and can't figure out why its still slow.

@pumelo1 Год назад

Best option is buy original industrial PATA disc with read/write neer 80Mb. Many old Laptops have not UDMA 6 but only 4 or 5. This 100+ pata ssd discs exist, but price is too high. I have with this type of PATA SSD reach close 80/80Mb on UDMA 5 in Win 8.1. I have also this PATA/mSATA converter but with msata KingMAX 60GB 540/540 disc.Not this sh......low end CHINA disc.supposedly Zheino M3 have 540/140🤑 and as you say correctly, it is good to check the Bios to see if UDMA is enabled😉

@@lilkuz2005 The old 2.5 PATA were very faulty. I myself bought a new drive 10 years ago and after a few days it started behaving strangely and started having bad sectors with sata drives no longer had such problems. I have an 18-year-old HP NX-6125 with a Turion MT-37 2gb ddr and old industrial disk at home, but it behaved badly in XP and Win 7, probably because the cache is only 1Kb and there were big delays, I move to Win 8.1 which are 100% ready for SSD drives and all is OK.

Great Video! By the way I have a question, I have a hp notebook model (17-bs025cl) and I can't really know if my optical drive bay supports SATA (and which SATA version if it supports it) because I'm planning on installing a SSD in the optical drive bay using a caddy I've tried lots of third party software and they say it's an ATAPI.. I can't seem to find an answer on the web on what is this ATAPI or whether my device controller is SATA or IDE please if you can help me in anyway.

@AICvideo 4 года назад

This video doesn't apply in any way to your laptop... you just need to buy hard drive caddy like this: amzn.to/30Qlbbg (do some research to see if there is a specific one for your system) and away you go. IDE was phased out well over 10 years ago. This is for older laptops from the early 90's through the mid 2000's. not a laptop that is

@EasternAmerica 2 месяца назад

@nexus7tablet610 4 года назад

The speeds you have suggest that maybe your old drive had been switched to a lower udma mode (to fast for pio mode highest is 16.7 mb/s) in the os because the drive was failing, and possibly the cloned drive is stuck in the same mode. 33mb/s is around udma 2, crystal disk info, will tell you the current transfer mode and the supported transfer mode of your disk. you can set transfer mode with hdat2 from dos.

That depends on the computer, a lot of HP's of this era have this connector, but I have an older HP that does not. If you have a complete system, you can just reuse that connector. I cannot say without actually opening up the system and looking.

@Anilocin 2 года назад

Hello! I have a few questions: 1. Is the adapter limited to ATA-33 aka UDMA Mode 2? 2. Do you have DMA mode activated in the device manager? Or is the drive stuck in PIO mode? 3. Does the drive activity LED on the laptop still work after the upgrade? 4. Have you had any problems at all with the adapter on any OS?

@AICvideo 2 года назад

I don't see any options for DMA, so I am guessing it is stuck in PIO mode. It's significantly faster than the spinning hard drive that was in there, so I hadn't thought about it. hard drive light does work, and windows 7 and Linux would not install to the drive, but windows XP had no issues. This is just a toy for me I drag out to play some old games or something, and not a serious use machine, so it works well enough for my needs. you may be better off, if you need real performance to go with a dedicated IDE SSD: amzn.to/3LgJVSz They are more expensive, but have much better performance than messing with an adapter.

@Anilocin 2 года назад

@@AICvideo OK, thanks for the reply. You can check if you have DMA enabled under the Windows Device Manager: Under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (click the (+)) should be the IDE controller. Under it should be listed the Primary IDE Channel. Under advanced settings, "Current Transfer Mode" should list what mode the drive is running is. Could you perhaps tell me what is listed there? Thanks.

@larsbliss2728 4 года назад

I just ordered a NOS ide drive for my thinkpad t42 that runs a couple programs that I still use. get them off amazon while you can. Drops right in, probably much less expensive, and it is possible that the machine will not recognize all that extra drive space on your new huge ssd.

@AICvideo 4 года назад

I searched for NOS IDE on amazon, and got 0 results. My windows XP machine recognizes the full storage available without issue. Going older might be an issue, but for this solution, this was BY FAR the cheapest I could go at the time I did this video. Other options might pop up every now and then, but this has been consistently for sale since I've made this video.

@larsbliss2728 4 года назад

@@AICvideo Try using ATA 100 as the search criteria. Decent drives starting at about $30.00.....

@AICvideo 4 года назад

Just looked, and you are right, 32gig ones start at $35, which is a huge price drop from when I originally did this video, however, the enclosure I used is $11 and a 120gig SSD is $24, so for the same money you can have nearly 4x the storage. If your system allows for the larger storage, I would go that way for sure.

@larsbliss2728 4 года назад

@@AICvideo It is always good to have options. I would maybe spend the money on my T42 but it is old and used for just a few things where major disk space isn't necessary, just more than I have now. Best thing is working on old machines is fun and keeps us out of trouble!

It is possible to replace the TURION 64 @ 1.8 GHz for a TURION 64 X2 @ 2.3 GHz and use NVme storage?

@AICvideo Год назад

No, the x2 is a different socket and incompatible. www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/AMD/Turion_64_Mobile_technology/index.html That is your upgrade list. you can search your specific model to see what is the best upgrade for you. No point in trying to do an NVME storage, as the storage interface is IDE100, and you will never get faster speeds that that. upgrading to the adapter with the sata SSD I show in this video will get you a drive that performs faster than the interface, making the interface your bottleneck.

@youtubecommenter4069 4 года назад

You should have maxed out the SO-DIMM DDR2 at 4GB for 32 bit Windows XP and you would have felt much more difference. Besides, data transfer speeds for IDE range from 5MB/s up to 133MB/s (ATA100/133). Why are you getting only a 1/4 of that? Did you have to change anything on the BIOS?

@AICvideo 4 года назад

I had tried a single two gig dimm and it didn't boot. I didn't know if it isn't supported or if I had a bad dimm, but I had two 1 gig sticks, and they worked great, so I stuck with it.
