Adaptors to use my EIDE HDD to a SATA ?

Is this possible? I have a bunch of hdd and would love to run Raid on em, but my mobo only supports SATA raid - not EIDE. I cant google anthing really - a few SATA to EIDE but not the other way around

Greetings,
Adaptec made a few PCI boards that supported EIDE drives for RAID configs. They were not expensive and one of them allowed up to 4 EIDE drives to be connected. These products may be a little old. Try searching for them in a COMPusa Store or online.

Check www.newegg.com for that kind of stuff.

Is this what you're looking for. If so make sure your HDD's are at least ATA IV. Anything below won't be seen.
