so if your drive is IDE why dont you just use IDE, it wont make that much diffreance if your using a IDE to SATA if any at all

no it wont, as it will still be using ide speeds even though you are using a sata connector, just adding a sata connector onto a ide drive wont improve your speed at all so dont bother tbh.

When they said converting to SATA they probably meant converting to using SATA drives from IDE.. not just using a converter cable.
