RSI-X1 adapter SATA <> IDE
Bi-directional adapter for connecting IDE devices via SATA interface and vice versa.
| Input | SATA, Ultra ATA133 |
| Output | SATA, IDE 40-pin, Ultra ATA133 |
| Device support | 2.5" HDD / SSD, 3.5" HDD, 5.25" ODD |
| Power supply | from a PC source |
| Extra | two-way, durable design |
Where to buy
Quickly and easily resolves the problem of connecting an older IDE disk or ATAPI drive via SATA interface to a PC.
Thanks to the bi-directional design, the adapter can be used also vice versa. For connecting a SATA device to the IDE interface on a PC.
The converter is purely hardware and so its installation is absolutely trivial without the need to install anything.
Intended for all SATA devices, 3.5" ATA 100/133 disks and 5.25" ATAPI CD/DVD drives.
DURABLE
DESIGN
Both the electronics and all adapter connectors are well protected by a durable plastic case.
DIRECT
CONNECTION
The compact adapter has a 40-pin IDE connector integrated directly in the body, and thus it is plugged directly into the IDE port on a PC, disk or drive.
IDE DISK
CONNECTION
Connect the yellow SATA connector of the adapter to the PC motherboard SATA controller and connect the power from the PC source to the 4-pin floppy connector.
Similarly, all standard optical ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, combo and DVD-RW drives can be connected.
SATA DISK
CONNECTION
The opposite direction of the converter will arrange the SATA disk interconnection with the black SATA connector of the adapter using the included SATA cable.
For proper configuration, you need to set the SATA disk to Master / Slave / Cable Select using two mini switches under the yellow SATA connector.
The versatile two-way AXAGON RSI-X1 SATA <> IDE adapter easily connects either an older IDE/ATAPI device via SATA interface to a PC, or a new SATA device via IDE interface to a PC.
The converter supports all types of SATA I, SATA II and SATA III disks without capacity limitation as well as all IDE/ATAPI devices.
The compact reduction has a 40-pin IDE connector integrated directly in the body, and thus it is plugged directly into the IDE port on a disk or controller.
Both the electronics and all adapter connectors are well protected by a durable plastic case.
The converter is purely hardware and so its installation is absolutely trivial without the need to install anything. For burners, it may be necessary for the proper operation of the drive to set the SATA port in the BIOS for the IDE emulation.

FAQ
A): If the HDD / drive is not displayed in "Device Manager", it is possible that the RSI adapter is not powered.
B): Make sure that you have the Floppy 4-pin power connector correctly plugged into the adapter and that your disk is powered at the same time. If the power supply does not help solve the problem, try replacing the SATA cable. For the IDE device, check the control jumper setting - it should not conflict with any other IDE device.
A): The RSI converter supports booting from a connected disk / CDROM. Of course, the correct setting of the motherboard BIOS order is the prerequisite.
B): The device boot order (CDROM, HDD ... etc) needs to be set if your computer has multiple disks. On the first place set the disk with operating system (the item is labeled "Hard disk boot priority" or "Hard disk drives" in the BIOS).
A): For some types of older motherboards, the CDROM / DVD may not work and the SATA port must be set to IDE emulation for proper drive operation.
B): The emulation of SATA port on the IDE is set in the motherboard BIOS. This means that SATA ports must not be set to RAID or AHCI, but to IDE emulation mode.
A): The newly purchased disk must be initialized before first use.
B): If the new disk is not initialized automatically, open "Disk Management", right-click on the desired disk and initialize it.
A): By initializing the disk, you can set the mode in which the hard disk will work.
B): You can use the partition with the master boot record (MBR) or the GUID partition table (GPT). For disk up to 2TB, use the MBR option, we recommend selecting GPT on a larger disk than 2TB. Subsequently, the initialized disk should be formatted.
