Dempsey_86 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 To use a IDE to Sata adapter you will need a 80 wire IDE cable. Red Startech Adapter: Supports UDMA6 There are reports that the adapter can have problems if paired with the version B of the samsung DVD drive. Blue Startech Adapter: Reported to be working with UDMA4, everything higher is reported to be unstable. You can't use an dvd drive with this adapter Delock 62510: Supports UDMA5 (UDMA6 not tested) Cheaper than the startech adapter. No problems reported Delock 61702: Supports UDMA6 EOL but you can find them new on ebay No problems reported Renkforce RF-4886682: Supports UDMA5 (UDMA6 not tested) No problems reported China Adapter 1: Supports up to UDMA4 (Stable) Tests did show it can support UDMA5 when there is no dvd drive attached. How to identify: 2 big caps and writing jp103-5 or RXD-629A7-7 on them Please take note that there are varius version of these which are look all almost the same. The JP103-5 is the best one. All others are missing 2 resistors which makes them boot very slow. If you add a resistor to R4 (0603 - 101) and one to RH1 (0603 - 103) you lower the boot time and they work like the JP103-5. You can save up to 30 sec on boot which are reportet. You COULD also replace the cheap caps with 470uf 25v caps but that not realy needed. China adapter 2: Supports up to UDMA4 Does not boot when UDMA5 is used You can't use an dvd drive with this adapter China adapter 3 (Not recommended to use): This adaptor makes the xbox boot real slow (around 50/51 seconds) and sometimes won't boot at all if used together with a dvd drive. Boot times are better when you don't connect the DVD drive. Not tested with UDMA higher than UDMA2. Edit: Reported to Support UDMA6. The the build quality can be vastly differently on each one. ' China adapter 4 (Not recommended to use): The WLXKG-863B adapters are NOT recommended! Reported as unstable China adapter 5 (Not recommended to use): The HXSP-0908 adapters are NOT recommended! Only works with UDMA2 This adaptor doesn't have a jumper to set master/slave/cable select. This version can only be used without dvd drive. DIGITUS-DS-33151: Does not work, don't waste your money on this adapter 6 Quote
SylverReZ Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Great work documenting the different assortments of adapters. This will for sure help somebody out. 1 Quote
Milenko Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 RXD-629A7-7 often have very shoddy soldering/splatter around the data/power solder points. Make sure you clean them up! 1 Quote
Jay Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Would love to see the Tripp Lite P937-000 from Digikey tested, though I see the power connector would get in the way of a 3.5" HDD so I'm not sure how viable it is. https://www.digikey.co.nz/en/products/detail/tripp-lite/P937-000/7696241 Quote
Dark Destiny Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 The Tripp Lite P937-000 uses a JM chipset so I would assume it will not perfome that well. And price..... Between 20 - 38 Freedom Pesetas. 4 Quote
founchki Posted July 2, 2024 Posted July 2, 2024 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MC2TMR4 Someone has reported this as working with UDMA5 on cerbios, similar to China Adaptor 2, just slightly different model number, ymmv 1 Quote
nikeymikey Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 (edited) Just found a box with a few RXD-629A7-7 in them. They all seem to NOT be missing the resistors. Don't seem to like UDMA4 all that much tho... I will reflow the soldering on these later on before anyone pulls me on it Edited August 18, 2024 by nikeymikey Quote

All generic china adapters are a gamble tbh Quote

I have a few XBOXES running of the same adapter in UDMA5 and haven't noticed any issues. In the way that the console didn't boot properly and Cerbios showed an error screen about incorrect UDMA modes. The cheapo adapters are hit and miss, always have been, always will be. 1 Quote
Zagman Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 I have a 1.4 w/ an X3 and a StarTech paired with a Sammy ver. B and got the #11 error on boot. If I reboot a couple of times it would initialize and continue to boot into Cerbios. So I put in a green adapter bought online from OGXBox, it works great with UDMA5. So I put the StarTech in my 1.6 OX box with a Sammy ver. A, guess what it does the same as the ver. B in the 1.4 box, When I shut off and restart (usually twice), it fires up and recognizes the DVD drive in Cerbios. So for me it t's not just the ver. B that has an issue, but 2 versions of the Sammy's. Quote
BreadFang Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I can vouch for the Samsung DVD drives causing issues with Startech, I've had it twice on a 1.0 and now a 1.6. In my case it's the bios animation lagging and glitching out. Is there a way to fix this? Quote
Friendo Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Have some additional info on the Startech and a new entry for the list Startech IDE2SAT2 (Rev 2) AKA "Red Startech Adapter" Controller - Marvel 88SA8052-NNC2 Dimensions - 7.5cm x 2.25cm 3.5 to 2.5 - Should fit any adapter Stable - UDMA6 Master/ Slave - Yes Notes - Molex power, Possible issues when paired with Samsung DVD drives Nemesis XATA (Ver 3.0) Controller - Marvel 88SA8052-NNC2 Dimensions - 10cm x 3cm (in casing) 3.5 to 2.5 - Will not fit 2.5 hdd/ssd in a center mounted adapter, bracket needs offset to the right. Stable - UDMA6 Master/ Slave - Yes Notes - Activity LED, Molex / DVD cable power, 3d printed casing Quote
Friendo Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Ive started a thread to try and document the possible issues with the Startech IDE2SAT2. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this. @BreadFang @Zagman Quote
Friendo Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Report courtesy of "hardly" in the xbox-scene discord TFTEC 90351757 Controller - JM20330 3.5 to 2.5 - Wont fit on standard 3.5 HDD in the stock xbox sled, needs center / left mount 2.5 drive / bracket. Stable - UDMA6 Master/ Slave - Yes Notes - DVD drive either undetected or wont read in all in all UDMA modes. Quote
Friendo Posted Sunday at 12:07 AM Posted Sunday at 12:07 AM Update on my XATA results: I seem to have been able to duplicate the Startech IDE2SAT2 + Samsung B issues with the Nemesis XATA + Samsung B I was getting the exact same behaviour using both adapters, im starting to think its a flaw in the Marvel 88SA8052-NNC2 chip itself This is just one example tho and we will need further confirmation to prove its also a problematic combo Checkout the thread for video examples and comparisons of my full testing methodology Quote
