Wanted to get a slot-loading drive working and this is my only one. It's from a 2006 iMac.

Does anyone recognize this connector?

I thought it might be some kind of micro SATA or slimline SATA connector, but after googling it appears to be some proprietary apple interface and I couldn't find any kind of adapter to convert it to SATA.

 

If you need a slot loading drive, you might be able to get an LG GS40N which seems to be the cheapest slot loading internal drive that I've found on Amazon.

It's not - I saw it in my Toshiba Satellite L25-S1192.

On the optical drive.

So it seems to be some kind of optical drive interface.
