FWIW, I've played with three different makes and models of SATA<->PATA
bridges at one time or another, and only one of them actually worked
reliably with hard drives - all seemed to be OK with optical drives, but
I assume that was down to their lower transmission speeds / throughput.

If you have any PCI or PCIe slots available, then you may be better off
buying a cheap add-in SATA controller instead (e.g. Silicon Image 3132,
or second-hand 3124, or Marvell 88SExxxx).

Cheers,

Tim.
