    what size external enclosure do i need for this hard drive?
    « on: August 18, 2009, 01:48:12 PM »
    I thought it was SATA and just ordered one and got it and it doesn't fit.


    the model number is:

    IC25N040ATCS04-0


    I got a SATA 2.5 just now and the bar is longer. On it i see it says ATA/IDE.


    I thought sata was flat and the IDE was two rows of pins that stick out.


    This has flat across and on one end it has a very short row of pins. So what do i need?


    i can upload a pic if you need... maybe I just need a 3.5 instead of 2.5?

      there's a picture.


      it doesn't look like the other connectors on the enclosures that i've seen?
