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?

Jim is correct, it's a 2.5 laptop IDE. Used it back in the 1998 days :p

You found it on the ground? Where do you live, Cybertron?

 

Wish I'd find a Ryzen or an i7 while walking around....

I found a Titan X the other day gently lying in a public garden ;)

lol LaP :) was the garden called "PC World" :p 

 

funnily enough I witnessed something similar, i saw a R480 standing at a street corner jiggling its ram chips at me, called me big boy....I giggled, blushed and ran away, and told my lover NV970 that a R480 wanted my chips!

970 was cool about it, didnt even ramp up the fans.....shes such a classy lady, unlike that tart, the 480 :rofl:

 

dont get me wrong, I dont mind tarty ones, but they are a bit like a Honda C90 cub step thru (google it if your post 80s born), great fun to ride, but you dont want your mates to catch you riding it. :woot: 

 

(hmm maybe i shouldnt have got up so early)

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.

      Removed the blue and underline as you did not post a link. This would also  be considered spamming.
