Title:

Is the optical drive connector PATA/ATAPI or SATA?

Text:

On the Apple Mac Book Pro A1226,

On the iFixit Guide about optical drive replacement, there is one type of connector :

[http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/WCpuO3HXt2A6mTCL.medium|PATA / ATAPI connector]

But on the iFixit Guide about dual hard drive, the solution provided :

9.5 mm SATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure

offers an other type of connector.

[product|IF107-080|SATA Connector]

How to know which connector is the correct one on my model ?

On iFixit, there is clearly a problem because the part sold to hold the disk on the optical bay cannot match.

Device:

MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260
