Yes it would work that way. After you copy everything over to the sata drive format the old ide drive so you don't have 2 c drives

All Sata cables will work. I prefer to use the thicker orange cable (2 came with my Motherboard).

As for why he added an IDE card, most new motherboards only have one IDE channel.
