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

I don't think it matters. From the PDF it looks like they're both sata connections. I think I picked the one that gave the hard drive the most room.

How old is the hard drive you're replacing? If it was pre-2005, chances are it's a PATA or IDE drive rather than a SATA type. Is the original connector a large black plastic thing with 40 holes in it (2 rows of 20)? If not, then it's a SATA set-up, requiring 2 connections (one for power and one for data). Just make sure you align the connectors carefully, (even though they won't click in if they're reversed).

It is not Data because I put it in an older computer. Don't know if it is a Pata

It reads any drive with a SATA connection. I have also gotten a PATA-to-SATA connector for about $12, and using that I can also read my old PATA hard drives (one of these is a WD caviar blue)

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to tell, but I've seen some websites which suggest that it uses a PATA (or IDE) drive rather than SATA. You should be able to pull out the drive and check to see if it has the pin connectors of a PATA disk drive. It's easy to do. Some Youtube videos can show you how if you need help ('how to replace the hard drive in the hp pavillion dv1000').

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.

I believe there was at least 2 sata. Can't recall! But works like a charm. Still up and running over 3 months.

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

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.

H:If your Laptop computer has PATA , it should work, but please be ware that you should look at the date manufactured on the drive, and also get information about the drive using a free software " SPECCY" -VERY IMPORTANT

Absolutely. This will work on PATA and SATA drives both 3.5" and 2.5". The 2.5" is what would be in the laptop.It is an excellent product. I have another one which I bought earlier but this one has some additional featureslike the on/off switch.

Roger, You driver is also known as IDE or EIDE or PATA. The Station only works with SATA drives. So the short answer is no, it is not.

It is a normal SATA hard disk drive. You can buy it in any computer store.Regards

The Hong Kong Seller is very slick in getting rid of their junk. In your case, you got the PATA to SATA, not the SATA to PATA adapter.You paid $1.20 while SATA to PATA costs $5.60.If I was wrong or that you could not figure out how to use the adapter, let me make sure that the 20 pins fit on the HHD and the other side with 39 pins fits on the IDE cable.If you have no 39 pins, you got the wrong adapter that fits a SATA to SATA of PATA to SATA.
