What connector is this?

[The Hound]

Hi,

I have this slim-line notebook DVD drive which has some port on it that I do not recognize, if this could be made clear to me as to what it is, that would be perfect.

I intend to use it in my current project (making a slim Xbox) to replace the original thick and clunky Xbox DVD drive. Any help would be perfect, it is pictured below:

Model number: SDR-081

 

Thanks,

Having researched mini-IDE, it doesn't look like a mini-IDE cable would fit in here, as it still uses male-female pins.

It is a Slim-ATAPI connector.

 

Good luck making a Slim Xbox

Just to follow up, would this work with it?

Yes, but IDE has a few problems. Personally, if you can, use SATA. If you are able to use SATA, I would use the http://www.datoptic.com/ec/slim-atapi-to-sata-adapter.html.

 

Only use it is your mobo supports sata.

I'm pretty sure the original xbox does not support sata... (I took one apart once, but that was a LONG time ago...)
