I have several IDE hard drives that I would like to plug into my computer, but my computer doesn't have anymore free IDE slots left. I do have several SATA connectors left.
Which would be the better choice?
IDE to SATA converter:
Newegg.com - Rosewill RC-203 SATA to IDE Mini Vertical Bridge (for SATA device) Model - Retail
IDE PCI card:
Newegg.com - Rosewill RC-200 PCI IDE (ATA) Silicon Image RAID (0/1/0+1/JBOD) Host Controller Card - Retail
I'm not sure which one would be more reliable and maintain the higher transfer rate. The IDE to SATA converters seem pricey on newegg, but I found some for 5 dollars on ebay.
