SATA adapter chipsets - boxcutter - 30.03.2016 22:32

hello,
can people with working or not-working sata adapters please list the chips they use.

i want to build a table of compatability.
ones i will test in the coming months as i find them:
Sunplus - SPIF223A
Jmicron - JM20330

and whatever is under the sticker on this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390779889863

this is soo compact, i hope it will work! Smile
-------------------------------------------------------------------

so i am making a list now. Smile

these chipsets can work.
Marvell - 88SA8052 (SATA2 3Gb/s)
JMicron - JM20330 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have datasheet, is bi-directional, is master/slave configurable.
DOF - B75KD0241

these are untested - but i found they exist.
Marvell - 88SA8040 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have pinout
Sunplus - SPIF223A (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have datasheet, is bi-directional, is master/slave configurable.
Silicon Image - SIL3811 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - may be sata-host only
DOF - B74KW0141 (is this the same as DOF - B75KD0241 ???)


the board must have a jumper / pad to select master or slave drive,
(or be modded if we have the pinout of the chip)

one thing i know from upgrading ps3's,
unless your using the Marvell - 88SA8052 your drive must respond to SATA1 speeds.
some drives need a jumper to make that work.

The chipset type alone does not indicate that the adapter will be in fact compatible along with DC, it will depend on other factors. However I've been lucky with JM20330 chipset, I've already tested 3 different types of SATA bridges which uses that JM chipset, and two of them worked with DC G1-ATA, but one doesn't.

good to know, i have a few of those.
what models are you refering to?

obviously they need to be able to be jumpered between master & slave device.
that's one issue i thought of.

a quick followup.

i now have the adapter from ebay in my first post.
i did not test it yet,
BUT it uses the Jmicron - JM20330 chipset and has a device jumper.

so i'm getting a couple more Smile
