View source for IDE and SATA adapter compatibility

'''IDE and SATA adapters''' that are compatible with optical disc drives. Please note, while an adapter's chipset may be perfectly compatible, poor quality of other components can lead to malfunction of or damage to optical disc drives after weeks or months of usage, so it is recommended to use an adapter from a reputable brand, e.g. StarTech or OWC.

==Notes==
[1] According to the ID the device reports to the OS<br>
[2] Uses a USB-A to USB-A cable, which is a type of cable that isn't compliant with the USB standard and may be dangerous to use, or at least to use with devices other than the one it was included with.
[3] Two reported cases of this unit failing after a year of use. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dUslF9K-Iw Chip needs to be reflowed?]
