I need an IDE - SATA converter

[icemochalatte]

I need an IDE - SATA converter. This has to be the opposite of the regular SATA -> IDE converters. I have to be able to connect a SATA drive to an ATA controller.

There is probably not much of a market for this, but anyone know of anything like this?
I need 5 of them for an old IDE drive duplicator here at work.

I don't really know how reputable this reseller is, but I found some here:

http://www.satagear.com/sata_converters.html

Might wanna do some research on the reseller before buying from them though.

Lots of people use these so that they can use IDE hard disks with the SATA RAID that is built into many motherboards. I know that both Abit and Highpoint make adapters of this type. Check Newegg.

He wants to do the opposite....
Connect a SATA drive to an IDE port.
Which isn't all that common.

Have you tried Ebay?
They've got a bunch of different converters and adapters on there.

I found this at CDW - http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?edc=659561

They should already be on their way.
