Hello,
I recently bought an USB to IDE/SATA converter. The product title is "Renkforce usb 3.0 to IDE+SATA Konverter" but it seems to work only with Windows operating systems. Did anyone ever managed to make it work with Archlinux or any other Linux variant? If the answer is no: Does anyone know about usb to IDE/Sata converters that can work with (both): Linux (and Windows) or - even better - are independent from the underlying operating system?
Thanks!

I did an Ixquick search.
Does it look like this? http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/1013 … e-Funktion
That page says the adapter works with Ubuntu 10.04 and higher.

Sorry, I should have provided a direct link. It's this one:

I have a converter which looks the same, but without Renkforce logo. I'm not the first owner, but AFAIK it originally came from Conrad.
It's based on the Prolific PL2773 bridge chip which works fine with Linux.
Use dmesg and lsusb to identify your device and find out what exactly happens when you plug it in.
