Meritline has the Anpou IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE Adapter / Converter for $4 with free shipping. Features up to 1.5 Gbps data transfer rate and includes a SATA data cable. Connections include 1x 40pin IDE port, 1x SATA port and 1x 4pin power connector.
Bought 4 to use the SATA drive for the old IDE only system. Works great for me. It also works well for old IDE drive NAS system. Cheap solution than buying SATA PCI card if you just need to 1 port. For b usiness machine every cent counts. But I did not try to use IDE drive on SATA port so I cannot confirm if it function the other way around.
Purchased 2 of these from Meritline, neither worked. Tried on 3 different IDE drives also. Gonna try a SATA/IDE to USB cable adapter as an alternative.

I have one of these as well. Tried to use it on several different IDE drives, didn't work, no response, system never detects it. Disappointing.
