| 867337 | 2010-03-15 02:59:00 | Looks like laptop IDE to me. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 867338 | 2010-03-15 03:03:00 | oh thats right forgot about those adapters that some manufacturers use to make it easier to take hard drives out. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 867339 | 2010-03-15 03:12:00 | Looks like an IDE, if it were SATA they generally dont come with an adapter like that, the SATA ports simply slip into the laptop, they can also be plunged directly into a desktop PC as long as the Board has SATA connections and run as a normal drive. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 867341 | 2010-03-15 03:54:00 | Looks like the reverse of the connector they used to use on the old ESDI hard drives :lol: But it's probably IDE |

| 867342 | 2010-03-15 04:02:00 | Yes after inspecting it closer i noticed there is an adapter attached and when i removed that the drive looked exactly like the IDE in that picture. Thanks for all the help. |
