Hi, all!
When I check 3TB HDD Seagate over IDE-SATA controller STI-2 (Agestar), my HDD disconnected.

When the HDD about 80GB -- check all right.

Why? May be need any DOS-driver?

On another PC (with SATA) MHDD check pass normally.

If you are connecting a SATA drive to an IDE port via a SATA-IDE bridge, then you shouldn't need a driver. The SATA HDD should just appear as a PATA drive to BIOS and OS.

Could it be that your bridge PCB cannot handle 6Gbps link speeds? Can you identify the bridge IC? Perhaps its datasheet will provide a clue.

Is this your device?

I notice that the PCB can be jumpered for either Device 0 or Device 1. I presume this corresponds to IDE Master and Slave, respectively. The default jumper position selects Device 1. Wouldn't it be advisable to select Device 0 (Master)?

Yes, it's the same device. But as I tested it, it stopped working altogether. Total 4-5 times included.

It may be that the device is broken?

I would test the adapter with a 1.5Gbps HDD, if possible.

Is the bridge IC a JM20330?

Convert card full name:
STI-2 (AS-IS-20330)
http://www.agestar.com/en/Products/Conv ... board.html

If card is broken it possible to remount it?
Today I attempt switch her in another PC.

I see that people have a lot of problems with IDE-SATA adapters in the user forums. They seem to be a hit-and-miss affair. The "20330" in the name would suggest that the bridge is indeed a JMicron JM20330. It's datasheet says it is a 1.5Gbps device. Perhaps it is unable to negotiate a SATA link with current 6Gbps HDDs? Otherwise I have no idea what could be wrong. Sorry.

"It's datasheet says it is a 1.5Gbps device"
Thank you. I understood.
I thought, can reduce Gbps HDD by jumpers.
