Hi, it will not work IDE connections. You probably need to check on the system requirements if your computer system meet that minimum requirement because you might be able to convert from IDE to SATA for this drive. However, if your computer has an older OS than Window XP, then we recommend getting an older IDE drive to match with the dd1603 because that drive works with a lot of very old computers. Very likely, we don't recommend using this drive on those type of old computer systems if involves Optorite DD1603. The minimum system requirements is the key for this drive to work even if you convert the connection to SATA. Hi, it will not work IDE connections.

It works with my Philips HDD/DVD recorder, a PVR device. I haven't programmed it extensively, though.

Actually there are a number of adapters converting iDE-->SATA and SATA-->IDE. Some are cables, some are dongles. I have one that is a small enclosed module that plugs on the back of the IDE disk drive and provides the SATA data connector on the other. You would also have to provide power to the IDE drive with an adapter from the SATA power connector in the Thermaltake. It's pretty cludgy, but it can be done. Also, if you are going to buy one of these adapters, look for one that is bi-directional IDE --> SATA -->IDE, that way you are ready for any situation.

I don't know for sure, but if it has a PCI-e slot available the chassis that you buy with it fits and I don't think an IDE adapter is necessary.

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

I used it to install a new SATA DVD-Burner to replace an old IDE or ATA CD-R drive, (which were no longer available), on a friend's older Dell PC. I had no problems. It continued to work with the IDE hard drive.

Hi, I have misplaced the adapter but it definitely had a female ide port. By the way, I couldn't get the damn thing to work at all so I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, you may have to move the jumpers around to get the correct configuration but it will work. I'm using it with a IDE Sony Blu-Ray drive and it works great.

It worked connecting my IDE DVD-RW to my SATA Motherboard. I used the "Master" jumper pin setting on my IDE DVD-RW just to be sure. Most IDE drives are probably set to "Cable Select" by default. Just make sure you use the "IDE Host to SATA HD" SATA connector on the adapter if using an IDE DVD or Hard drive to a SATA Motherboard and if the red light stays on, you should be good to go.

As long as your computer uses SATA connections it should be compatible. It says it burns at 24 X speed. It does not have lightscribe which allows you to print labels directly to the CD/DVD, using discs that are made for lightscribe. As I said in my review I found this drive to be extremely noisy and was not impressed at all with it. You might want to consider another drive. Any cd/dvd with a sata connection should work, and if you're not using the lightscribe why pay extra for it.

This adapter needs power from a computer power supply and is intended to be used inside a desktop computer case. You might be able to rig something, but I would say it's better to buy a USB hard drive adapter that supports IDE.

I would ask that question of Dell. I have used mine with a DVD and didn't have a problem. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

This device only works with SATA connections. Your IDE hard drive is not compatible with it. to my knowledge there is no adapter that can convert SATA connections to IDE and vis versa. Your best bet is to get an IDE external hard drive enclosure and connect your IDE hard drive to that. My recommendation is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145133 . I own this enclosure and it works great. ORconnect your IDE drive internally to your PC; meaning screw your hard drive into your hard drive cage inside your PC and then connect the hard drive to your mother board via an IDE cable, then connect the power cord to it.

The listing states DVD/CDRW - it will only write CD's. If you order it from us, just send us an email and we will put a DVDRW in it for no added cost. Thanks, Computer World

The IDE driver was a slave in a previous computer. tried to use it as a slave again but no success. This product does not come with anything, nada. No options to do anything. I heard that it may need some drivers but havent't looked for any yet.
