Old C640 Laptop - SATA to IDE Caddy

I've been having some fun playing around with an old C640 laptop - largely to teach my kids about fixing PCs.

 

With a view towards using a SATA drive in the modular bay, I have come across what appears to be a SATA to IDE caddy on flea-bay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SATA-2nd-HDD-Caddy-Dell-Latitude-C500-C510-C600-C610-C640-C800-C810-C840-DV10-/300537926241?pt=US_Drive_Bay_Caddies&hash=item45f974d261

Does anyone have views on, else experience of this item?

Cheers

Andy

It might work as a storage drive - you will not be able to boot the system from a drive mounted in it, though.
