Hi,
I have old IDE Hard Drive that I want to put in a "newer" PC that only supports SATA.
I plan to buy this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32804801616.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4c5a6127mX6jtE
Do you have experience with these adapters? I'm asking because I'm confused about power supply plugs: Adapter has one (4pin if I see well), and old IDE HDD also has one.
Now, according to this video: adapter does not require any power, you just need to attach SATA cable from motherboard and power cable directly into HDD.
However, here in reviews there are comments like this:

- " ... both the adapter and the hard drive need power, and this adapter does not come with the cables necessary to connect to the computer's power supply."
