Do some hard drive manufacturers convert ide drives to sata?
It is more common for the reverse to be true. Manufacturers will design their drives to use SATA and then modify the design to accommodate IDE. The result is a fast drive on a slow interface for people who do not have SATA ports on their computer. When SATA was first introduced, older drive designs were converted to use SATA, but IDE was completely removed. Most 7200 RPM hard drives are just now starting to reach the limits of ATA-133 (133 MB/s). Most drives still do not take a big performance hit if used on IDE.
