You seem to be well sorted now.
But if it is just IDE to SATA converters you want (rather than that particular one) then Scan sell one (though it is currently on pre-order and not in stock):
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/dynamode-bi-directional-ide-to-sata-adapter
as does amazon.co.uk

I couldn't quite work out if the ide or the adapter was "mini" - is there a mini ide different from ide?
I have got a few of those 2.5inch converters and they seem really good.
The best I can get is 75 megabytes a second out of them compared to a tiny 10 - 20mb a second on a usb 2 converter and I have got a few that is from 2.5inch ide to sata but I rarely use those.
I did have one stop and smoke but that was years ago.
The Dynamode looks good as well but for the particular use I need it in a casing or I have to be extra careful like with the 2.5 inch converter.
I have a place where all the drives go and with it exposed something metal might touch it so I try to reduce that and clear the space.
The exposed ones are good for internal use but I have the drives out on the surface.
I uploaded a picture of some of mine and the issues with them. I didn't include the Orico as that had no problems I but there was an issue with the light cover inside. Both of them fell off inside so I glued them back but it seems to work with all the drives without issue.
Sorry ribbon the ones were not Startech they are Newlink NL-SATADUALADAT.
Works fast but on some Western Digital drives it only seems to work if pull the master and slave jumpers are out.
On some Seagate drives if slave is set it won't pick up connect the drive.
1: That was the one that smoked a couple of weeks ago. It copying something from a CDrom, it disconnected, the light on it went out and it started to smoke.
The component squared in red is cracked. I have another smoke some years ago.
I brought about 10 or more in 2012 and some stopped working and I have checked the flimsy power cable.
2: Intermittently works on moving the ribbon.
Obviously there is a breakage in there and I have few break like that.
3: 3ware P-SATA. I got this in a job lot bundle on Ebay with a 7500-8 series controller.
When I was testing it at the time it works well on a other sata controller and no problems with all different ide drives but it does not work properly with optical drives. I found if a cd is in the drive on next bootup it will show and start working. Without no cd the drive is not picked up. I think it is designed just for drives for their raid controller.
4: My first converter that I brought for some Seagate ES2 drives in 2010 and I paid a lot more than the others. I think it was around £30 each but the performance was disappointing at only 50 megabytes a second and I was getting delays. The previous IDE drives were doing over 60mbs. When I swapped it over with the Newlink ribbon ones in 2011 the transfer went up to 80 to under 90 megabytes a second which was a big improvement. That's why I brought many of them at the time for my work on disc imaging and testing the drives but they are prone to break and they also have sharp edges in the sata connectors that traps the plugs and cracks/breaks the sides off on my 2m long grey thick sata cables if I am not careful when pulling it out.
