What kind of Hard drive is this?


Recommended Posts

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)

    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.
