DisplayPort:

• DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It defines a new royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display, or a computer and a home-theater system.
• The first version was approved in May 2006, version 1.1a was approved on April 2, 2007, and the current version 1.2 was approved
• DisplayPort is designed to replace digital (DVI) and analog component video (VGA) connectors in computer monitors and video cards, as well as replace internal digital LVDS links in computer monitor panels and TV panels.
• DisplayPort can provide the same functionality as HDMI but is not expected to displace HDMI in high-definition consumer electronics devices

Mini DisplayPort:

• The Mini DisplayPort is a miniaturized version of the DisplayPort digital display interface. Announced by Apple in the fourth quarter of 2008, today it is used in all new Macs (MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Xserve), and the LED Cinema Display. Also in Toshiba Satellite Pro S500, Tecra M11, A11, S11, HP Envy 14 and 17 notebooks.
• Unlike its Mini-DVI and Micro-DVI predecessors, Mini DisplayPort is capable of driving resolutions up to 2560×1600, commonly used with 30-inch displays. With a suitable adapter, Mini DisplayPort may be used to drive displays with a VGA, DVI or HDMI interface.
• Shortly after announcing the Mini DisplayPort, Apple announced that it would license the connector technology with no fee. Apple reserves the right to void the license should the licensee "commence an action for patent infringement against Apple".
• The following year, in early 2009, VESA announced that Mini DisplayPort would be included in the upcoming DisplayPort 1.2 specification.
• In the fourth quarter of 2009, VESA officially announced that the Mini DisplayPort has been adopted. All devices using the Mini DisplayPort must comply with the 1.1a standard.

How to Convert an IDE Hard Drive to a SATA Drive With an Adapter Card Storage Controller?

• There are two common types of hard drives currently on the market. The Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard drive (which uses a wide, flat cable) and the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard drive (which uses a narrow, round cable). There is no difference between an IDE and a SATA hard drive, except for the type of cable each uses. Newer computers require SATA hard drive connections, but it's still possible to use older IDE hard drives. All that is required is an adapter to change the IDE cable into a SATA cable

Instructions:

• Acquire an IDE-to-SATA adapter. These can be purchased from any computer parts retailer such as TigerDirect.com, NewEgg.com or Amazon.com (see Resources section)
• Connect your IDE hard drive to the adapter using the IDE cable that previously connected your hard drive to the old motherboard. If you do not have an IDE cable, this can also be purchased from the same retailer
• Connect the adapter to the motherboard using the SATA cable. Most adapters come with a SATA cable. If you do not have one, it can be purchased from the same retailer
• If required, connect the adapter to your computer's power supply, following the instructions that came with the adapter
• Boot up the computer to complete the installation process 

Package Included:

• 1 x IDE & SATA Converter
• 2 x Data Cables
