Sony " VA" "IO"
Bought a SATA/IDE to USB adapter for my old ide hdd from ebay for 335+65(shipping), works good.

I too bought one but power adapter s smoked and fire!!!
I was refunded in 4 days
And the sata connection became loose. If I touch it, it disconnects and reconnects again

Can we use 2.5" HDD without power adapter?

Be careful, I thought of putting mine 24x7 on... I was terrified.... Imagine if it happened in the middle of the night...

@KART Nice buy, how is the router holding up?.. Have you noticed any improvement in range? I was contemplating buying the router, but then decided against it, and went for RT56U.

Even I have couple of IDE drives which I wanted to make them SATA using converter but these when purchased locally gave me hard time and I had to drop the idea of having them as SATA converters.

@kARTechnology Congrats. How good is media streaming via USB ?

well i mapped the drive in windows, used LAN Speed test lite v1.2.0 free
using a TRANSCEND 16GB drive
If i transfer a 500mb file(means the software creates it and sees the speed)
I get 3MBps write and 10 MBps read

for a 10 mb file
write 8 MBPS and read 14MBPS

for 50 mb file
write 4.5 MBPS and read 4.8MBPS

will copy a 1080p hd movie and see if it can stream...
edit: able to stream a AVCHD 1080p 4GB 23fps movie without any glitched/lag but will take 1-5 sec when u seek

tests performed from a wired connection

it has dlna
