looks very similar but has too many ports on the back this one has only power and data ports and a small metal piece that appears to be for grounding held in by 2 screws

For the price of the adapter and the enclosure needed for these drives to work you can buy a new one.

To make those work you would need a slim sata adapter , and a new enclosure adapter . A new drive is cheaper.
