SATA or IDE?

Last response: in Storage

I'm trying to connect a harddrive to an external case. I'm having trouble and not sure if the case allows the type of harddrive I'm trying to connect; I.e. case is SATA and harddisk is IDE or visa versa.

Here's a link to a page showing the hardisk enclosure ports along with the harddisk ports. http://marklevinfan.co.uk/test/harddisk.html

Would somebody be able to tell me if they're compatable or incompatible.

thanks for your help guys

The ONLY source of confusion is that it appears your HDD had connectors to allow you to provide power EITHER from a standard SATA power connector OR from a 4-pin Molex type (never both simultaneously). When you plug it into the case, the latter simply will not be used - no problem.
