Default IDE to Sata Converter

I was looking for SATA drives and noticed there are none...so i found this:

What do you guys think? Think this coulddo a good job in getting a good connection via SATA??

If you consider the fact that i want to equip 4 more PC's with SATA drives, i dont feel like spending 600 bucks on combo drives....
Can anybody maybe tell me what they think about the convertor i posted up there?

Generally those converters don't work very well. I'd say you would be better off buying a SATA drive
