need help identifying connectors

confused730 · May 30, 2020

Hey all, so I have aquired some disk drives for free that I want to use for something, but one of them has some connectors I haven't encountered before and when I look online, all I can find is drives with the more common SATA connections, could anyone help me identify what they are?

That's an IDE connector and Molex Power

Also, this drive is so old that I would not trust it to run or store anything

Considering these were salvaged from throw away computers, I'd be surprised if they even work. Saying that, considering they've cost me nothing, I still want to test them and see if they are fit for purpose
