What version of SATA is the hard drive enclosure utilizing?

It doesn't matter, since the device is erratic and can't consistently hold onto a USB 2 connection.

It has an IDE connector. I would measure your old hard drive to make sure it will fit in this enclosure.

The size matches, and a 1" thick drive fits, too. The enclosure accepts SATA drives only, not IDE drives. Please verify that.

No your machine is listed as using a SATA hard drive whereas this is an IDE hard drive.

I think this is the current model of the same product: http://www.hgst.com/hard-drives/internal-drive-kits/desktop-drive-kits

It is the drive model number. Each hard drive has a different model number when manufactured.

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

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

To be honest I cant remember exactly, but I do not remeber it having any SATA cables in the box. I bought some SATA 3 cables because I did not have any and I use a full tower case. So I would buy some just in case and make sure they have the metal clips not the plastic ones.

I recommend this one "Generic 2.5" USB 2.0 SATA Aluminum HDD Enclosure case Hard Drive Disc External"

SATA version 3, as in 6Gbps. All four of the ports on this board are SATA version 3.

If the connector has a double row of pins, it's IDE; otherwise it's SATA. This enclosure will only work with a SATA drive.By selecting MK1655GSX and pasting it into Google, it's easy to find out that this drive is a SATA drive.

Any SSD's today replace/upgrade all of the SATA 2.5" hdd = 5200 to 7200rpm down to stone ages 2002 or even earlier.

Yes. The hard drive connected to the SATA interface shows up independent of the operating system.

I have not had problems with my enclosure, but it will not work with your older ATA HDD. The enclosure is designed for a SATA connection.

Sorry for the late response. I bought the diskless enclosure so I am not sure which hard drives they come with.

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.)
