Is this a standard laptop SATA connector? The cutaway photo makes it appear as if it may not be.

If I remember correctly the hard drive fits into a laptop hard drive adapter that slides into the laptop. It is a standard laptop SATA hard drive. Pull your hard drive out of the laptop, remember to remove your batter and AC adapter, then see if it has an adapter tray.

I cannot say for sure. I had it installed in my laptop and there was not issues with it.

I had no problems removing my old HD from the housing and replacing it with this one. It fit my housing perfectly & thus plugged right back in to my laptop. I have a Dell 1545

it is compatible, just remember to plug it in correctly though. I'm currently plugging two SATA I hard drives and a SSD

It also comes with a molex (PATA) style connector. Just use a molex to SATA adapter to run the second drive. I am running two laptop drives off of it in my system.

As far as I know it is SATA III but remember it is very difficult to replace the drive. You must completely disassemble the machine since the drive is on top of the board next to the keyboard, not on the underside like most laptops.

No, this adapter is for putting an msata drive in a computer that has a standard sata connector.

It appears to connect via USB 2.0. I do not know that it is either SATA or EIDE ... probably neither from what it says.

Hi Jeffrey, This is a SATA divice with standard connectors, both Data and Power. If you have an older computer, i.e. IDE PATA, then it will NOT connect! If you are talking about mounting, then you will have to buy an adapter tray to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

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

It takes a standard SATA power cable. Your power supply probably already has these (they look like little black connectors with a slit in them). If it doesn't, and you only see white connectors with holes in them (MOLEX connectors) you can purchase an adapter for it.

The connector/size is the same. Not sure whether the controller chipset in the enclosure has backward support for SATA 1 though.

The SATA connector for 1.8" drive is non-standard. One will need to get an adapter to convert to standard 2.5". The best-cost effective method would be using a mSATA to SATA adapter with a standard 2.5" housing.

No it is SATA II judging from my current SSD speeds.I am using it now and wish I knew before purchasing...

Can you be more specific? If the pins aren't lining up: This is for a SATA style connector. If you have the much older IDE style connector, you'll need to find another enclosure. Otherwise, the install should be straightforward. How old is your macbook?

Yea should not be a problem at all, the new sata plug is a real small plug unlike the old ribbons that were flat and gray and had 40 or 80 wires. The stat just have four or six wires and are on a faster bus on the motherboard for much faster transfer, but yes your ok with that.

The sata connection should be the same but you will need adapter to hold the 2.5 drive in place.

The sata connectors will all be on a chain together, look on your hard drive and see the connector that is the largest slot? Find the cables that match the shape of the connector, remember don't force it too much, make sure you are inserting it the right way

It is just the bare drive, basically a circuit board in a plastic shell. Very thin and light. The connector is a SATA plug-in. If you're replacing a notebook drive, it should plug right in. I would get an adapter bracket and cable for a 3.5" drive bay in a desktop. My bare-bones HTPC came with the adapter.
