2730 24-pin 1.8" SATA connector pinouts = unknown.
2530P 8-pin 1.8" SATA connector pinouts = unknown.
microsata only needs 6 wires to run, so likely only using a few of those pins in that 24-pin socket anyway. Only way of mapping it's pins is a close up view of the tracks OR to get the cable and do continuity probes against the ends. The 2510P socket itself has little numbers against the pin numbers which I've shown at the bottom of
this post.

Look forward to hearing your results. As mentioned, I believe this thread and the
6510b optical bay caddy thread has had inaccurate reporting of the
ebay sata-to-pata caddy's performance. A credible 2510P owner can perhaps give a more accurate report. Comparatively, the ebay caddy looks to be more of a flush-fit and I'm curious whether the Marvell sata-to-pata bridge might be slightly better performing as shown by the mtron-in-sata-to-pata ultrabay performance
here. Ultrabay and ebay caddy both use the same Marvell bridge chip as shown
here and
here.
