IDE to SATA Converter

[joeblow10]

I am looking to purchase a new hard drive. I don't want to waste my money on a IDE hd when I can get a SATA for the future for about the same price. Right now though, I can only connect a IDE drive to my computer.

How well do the SATA to IDE Converters work? Is this a viable option for me until I get a new computer? Can anyone recommend a good one?

Thanks for any information.
