It’s a ribbon cable, as it’s usually named by technicians in computer depot and in training movies on laptop assembly/disassembly, service and repair.
No matter the name, actually, when you put an order to Toshiba or provide a search, you can name it as a cable for your Toshiba's harddrive, IDE cable, or IDE interface cable. The problem is always with part availability for laptops.
From what I know, Toshiba doesn't keep parts for old laptops for long. But you have to make your first call to your local Toshiba authorized service depot, or their 1-800 number, I think. You’ll be redirected to Parts Supplies, they have a centralized database.
