Jim K Global Moderator Posted March 10, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2017 IDE ... that weird connector is an adapter for notebook OEMs (not sure what it is called). You can pull it off and plug a regular IDE cable into it. Edit: Sorry! I forgot you would need another adapter as it carries data and power. Something like this (for your desktop) Anyway ... if you pull that black connector off you would see 44 pins. 40 are for data (IDE) and the other four are for power. They are arranged like this, well, because it went into notebooks. This might clear things up? jnelsoninjax 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGeorge Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) You found it on the ground? Where do you live, Cybertron? Wish I'd find a Ryzen or an i7 while walking around.... jnelsoninjax, exotoxic, Tantawi and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidosho Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It looks like it's from an old Dell Latitude with that connector, a few Inspirons used them too. Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
