SATA to IDE convertors

[vinodkk]

Hi,
I would like to know if there are any suitable SATA to IDE convertors available which can help me connect a SATA drive to my sytem which has only an IDE interface .The reason I want to go for a SATA drive is coz I plan to upgrade my system later this year ,but my HD is running out of space...

Please submit any recommendations.
Thanks
:thumbsup:

no such thing. And ATA-SATA adapters cost like $20 or so. You may as well just get a cheap SATA controller.
