Converted my Area 51 Site 4 to SD Flash for just $3!

Cool. I bought one. Just in case I need another. ;)



Extra details incase/when the ebay links die:

"New 3.5 PATA IDE to SATA Hard HDD Optical Drive Converter Adapter" (It was generic. If it works for me, I'll post better pictures/part numbers for future reference.)



I'll wait to get a "Apacer 16GB MLC SATA Module" as I'll try a regular sata drive first.



Note to others on the adapter:

In the link, it says $xx.xx for expedited shipping. Normal 1-3week shipping from the UK to the US was $4.70 for me.



One positive to those modules they are Tiny!
Like 1.5" by 1" or something like that!

Downside is they are to small to really fix to anything so I need to work that problem out but its nothing major!
 
So anyone done the IDE -> SATA thing recently? I saw this old post linked earlier in the thread here:

https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=431283

And was wondering if anyone knows exactly which items on ebay would work for this, since that post is old and those ebay links are dead. I have some that I plan on trying out but wasn't sure if they will work or not.

Adapter: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PATA-IDE-t...nverter-Card-for-3-5-2-5-HDD-DVD/321351296306

SATA drive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apacer-16G...ate-Drive-for-Laptop-Thin-Client/254553166050

Anyone know if these will/wont work?
