is this a sata burner

This is an IDE burner, not a SATA. I bought it to replace an old drive on an old computer. I tried to get one as close to the original as possible, and it worked fine.

this would be a PATA drive to my knowledge. SATA has a small slot style connector instead of all the pins

No, it's PATA as shown on the website, which is the same as IDE. It will work in older machines with IDE but not in newer machines that have SATA.

No it is NOT SATA technology. It uses the description PATA technology which is the same thing as IDE that is found in older PCs like the one I'm keeping alive. I also discovered that XP does not like to go above 128 MG so I quit fighting that limitation and just underutilize the drive or partition it into to logical drives.

So, it's a SATA. Thank you so much for replying -- it's very much appreciated...

Yes it is. Always check the products website for more detail. Amazon does not always list the needed info on the product.And if I were you, I'd buy this instead, it's backwards compatible:Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey)

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

I zoomed the image of the enclosure in its package and it does say at the top of the packaging that it's for SATA drives. Good deal, though, if you can use it - Fry's gets $40 for this model ($28.99 on Amazon as of this writing.)

I looked up your PC and it does support SATA drives. Yes your PC will use this drive just fine. I use CD-DVD Burner XP ( https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home ) and it is great FREE software that supports this drive,but it needs DOT NET software,that is als FREE to download during the burner software install.

No. SATA only. However do a search on Amazon for IDE Docking Station and you'll find one.

It is not a drive. It is a *Drive Enclosure" that fits a 2.5" IDE HDD. Hope that helps.

Yes, it has an e-SATA connection, in addition to 2 FireWire 800 ports and a USB 2.0 port.

That is an old board. However, it looks like it reads SATA so you should be good

It is a burner. I have used mine to burn many DVD's from mini laptops that don't have them. It burns them quickly too.

Yes it does. However; this burner requires an upgrade which cost's $49.95 in order for you to get the full range of operations. I was not aware of this and am not happy with having to pay twice to get one thing. Be careful when purchasing this drive.
