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

A regular SATA cable. Available here on Amazon for something like a dollar! :-)

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).

Highly unlikely if you want it to fit physically but if you don't it is possible. I am assuming you want to replace an internal sata drive with a pata? I would suggest you just buy a used sata drive, there must be 100s of used ones for close to the same price as this adapter.

sata. I used it to put a hard drive from a broken laptop in another laptop as a spare.

Looking up the specs for this workstation on line, it gives the hard drive spec as:Hard Disk Drives*Up to 60GB/ 7,200 RPM or 80GB/ 5,400 RPM, EIDE/ATA-1. There is no mention of SATA, only EIDE and ATA.The spec sheet is dated 2005. This is an old computer. I have a feeling that this is not workable, but I can't prove it.

Yes this is compatible with IDE(ATA), SATA, AND PATA. One caution, if the drive you are connecting to it, has a circuit problem, it may blow a component in the power supply, because the power supply is not fused. I blew a diode in one of mine; glad I bought a couple extra ones.

My understanding is that this is a SATA hard drive, without the "Drive". You have to have an adapter of some form to plug it into a sata port, or you may have a mother board with a MSATA socket.

This enclosure is SATA. Your drive should also be SATA. If you are confused pull the model number off of the drive and look it up. The model should start with something like ST3500#####

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

SATA 3 6Gb cable like franklin said. With that said, make sure your computer has data connectors. Older computers have PATA (IDE) connectors. If u have PATA THERE ARE PATA TO SATA adapters but you will only get the PATA speed.

There is another enclosure by Acomdata specifically for PATA drives. It only supports USB2.0 connections, not Firewire.

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

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.

Means that the harddrive will fit a SATA or a PATA plug-in inside your Computer. Most Newer computersuse a SATA type Hard-Drive.

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.
