![]() The only possible issue I can think of is whether there's some kind of performance hit in converting between IDE and SATA, and that's not critical in this application unless it's significant. Space is a consideration, of course there's not a lot of room inside the iMac, but the unit does look like it should fit. looks a bit better designed, and doesn't have any cables hanging off it. NewEgg hasĪ Sabrent SBT-STDB adapter, but the one sold by ![]() ![]() There are several SATA to IDE adapter units available. At that time, it would make sense to simply transplant the replacement drive to the new machine (it probably won't be an iMac) if I can upgrade the iMac G4's IDE (PATA) drive to a SATA drive now. I'm looking ahead to the next machine upgrade, at which time the replacement computer will surely use a SATA host controller. The IDE hard drive options are dwindling as SATA becomes more prevalent. I need to upgrade the factory-supplied 80GB IDE drive in an iMac G4 1GHz 17" Flat-Panel, Model M8539LL/A.
