I have a friend who wants me to try to retrieve data from an old laptop hard drive. It is an WD2500BEVS-60UST0. I have a docking station that does SATA drives (2.5 and 3.5), but this drive looks different. He sent me pictures of the connector and instead of having wafers, it has actual pins.

Am I going to need a special connector/adapter to access this drive? He has an old IDE drive that he wants me to work with too, so I am looking at getting an IDE to USB adapter (probably like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Activity-Support-USB-DSC5/dp/B000HJ99DI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467240840&sr=1-1&keywords=ide+to+usb )
Thank you in advance for your insight!
