The SeriTek/1SC1 Parallel ATA to Serial ATA Converter from FirmTek is a compact adapter board that allows you to use a PATA drive in a SATA system. The adapter plugs directly into the 40-pin data connector on a PATA drive, and it features a SATA data port for connection to the motherboard or controller card via a standard data cable. It is an excellent choice for anyone who would like to use a legacy PATA hard drive on a modern SATA system.
