Anyone Have an Addonics IDE to mSATA Adapter?

[sawpits]

Anyone have one that they are no longer using? It wasn't the $25 price that bothered me but they want over $10 to ship that single item. So if anyone has one which they are willing to let me have let me know and we can work something out.

From what I recall reading the Addonics is the only reliable IDE to mSATA adapter. I have my mSATA SSD, now I need an adapter. Has anyone had luck with any other make of adapter?

I don't have an extra, but I got one of these for my PowerBook G4 Titanium and it works well. Fits right in there like a hard drive would.

That ↑ looks very similar to the one I've just fitted in my PowerBook, except for the colour of the casing - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mSATA-to-2-5-44PIN-PATA-IDE-SSD-HDD-mSATA-to-PATA-Converter-Adapter-K7X1/264286932709?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Seems to work fine

Cheers

I completely second what the above people have to say. I've got the same ones as Slix in two machines, and never had any problems.

Addonics is too expensive.

I’m using the m.2 NGFF variant of this product in my PowerBook, and it works as smoothly as the Addonics mSATA adapter in my iBook clamshell. In fact, I went with the former over the latter for the PowerBook because the cost of the Addonics was more than I could afford to spend this time round.

I have the "Lindy" adaptor in my 17" and it's been great. I also bought one of the cheap eBay ones beforehand and could never get it working. I was messing around with it last weekend and realise the issue, the cheap one had jumper pins and when looking up online, no pins meant in was running as master. I knew from my powermac that macs like to run in cable select so I added a jumper in the right place and it worked first time. I'll post benchmarks this weekend.

I think that's based on each person's opinion.

I bought one of those cheap plastic one's a couple of years ago. Never worked. In my opinion the Addonics adapter was worth the price. It works. On top of everything else, it's metal. Not plastic.

Whatever works for anyone else though, great. It just comes down to what you're willing to pay.

Isn't this forum mostly comprised of opinions?

Lindy works greats as well as Manhattan, at least for 40 pin IDE. In my 'books I use very cheap ones of which I cannot remember the name. Everything works like a charm, even sleep mode, which causes problems with some adaptors

I had no problem with the price of the Addonics since no one seems to have had problems with it working properly, but their charging over $10 for shipping is crazy.

I ordered one of the adapters Slix has, so when it arrives and I install I'll let people know.

You must be in America.

Installed successfully using the inexpensive plastic IDE mSATA adapter as mentioned above. No problems, no jumpers needed. Using a Samsung 860 EVO 250GB mSATA which was factory refurbished by Samsung and paid less than $50
