IDE to SATA will generally work without problems - as long as the SATA disk is within the size supported by the BIOS. I have upgraded many old PCs and Macs with SSDs using IDE to SATA adapters. The general size limit is 137GB - but could be much lower, if you have an ancient BIOS.

[Freedos-user] PCI USB adapters - PCI SATA adapters - IDE SATA adapters
Dear FreeDOS users, Please help me with the following: If I buy one of those cheap PCI to USB adapters on ebay, will it work in a Pentium@120Mhz using freedos or another D.O.S. version? Will I be able to boot or at least use it after booting from another device? For a SATA hard disk for the same pentium PC: PCI to SATA adapter or IDE to SATA adapter, What is best?
