Ide? Sata? Cables? What do I need

June 1st, 2020, 19:15

Have two spare drives I'm trying to access.


Is the one of the left Ide and the one on the right sata? What exactly do I search for hhd enclosure? hhd convertor?


The cable on the right is the with the hard drive on the left, it came from a Lacie rugged hard drive (horrible customer service). Is there any way to buy the same cable so I can put in the hard drive? Or is that cable unique to Lacie and if they don't sell it, there is no way I can use the use the hard drive with their case anymore?


Lacie has a 1 hour wait time, rude, demands a serial number when I told him it's old, told me it's too old and he doesn't have info, and transfers me to their sales department so I can buy something "new".

The SATA drive (MK1059GSM) requires a USB-SATA adapter or enclosure.

The IDE drive (MK8025GAS) requires a USB-to-44-pin-IDE adapter or enclosure.
