Re: Will Debian accept a SATA to IDE hdd adapter?

For the money and compatibility you're probably better off going with an
actual SATA controller instead of that Frankenstein adatper. They're
the same price.

Good point Stan; I have a handful of old IDE drives I use for running Debian (range from 10-80 GB) and large SATA drives just for storage that I want to keep as dedicated storage drives for data backup purposes, etc. I wonder how Lenny would deal with using the IDE host controller for the OS drive (hda) and the PCI-based SATA adapter (storage hdd) in your link? Would it get confused?
Interested to hear your results when the parts arrive.
