I have an old laptop Presario 2500 setup with Win98 and XP dual boot.
The hard disk is failing so I had to update the storage.
I got one of those M.2 sata to IDE 44 pin IDE 2.5" convertors. But the speed is capped on 3.32 MB/s.
The controller is Jmicron JM20330, thinking this one is maybe defective or has fake controller, got another one with a higher price and good comments showing 30 up to 80 MB/s Read and write speed. But the new one has the same 3.35 MB/s speed capp.
So I think there is something wrong with my bios or setting. since my old failing HDD can reach around 30 MB/s.
I read this mSATA to IDE Troubletopic, disabled UDMA but still no difference.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or settings I should change in bios.
I'm not looking for crazy speed, just something more than 10MB/s. Since right now with this speed the computer freezes whenever I do something with disk like extracting, downloading copying.
Also someone mentioned that with a driver it will work much faster, but I didn't find any driver for JM20330.
Thanks in advance.
