Type of connector for encloser?
I am looking for a powered encloser for an old hard drive I have. I think this is an SATA III? But I am not sure and don’t want to buy a bunch that won’t fit it.
Is this a good question?

This is an “IDE HDD”, and requires two connections to work: molex (large pins on the left) for power and IDE (small pins on the right) for data.
You may be able to find an enclosure that includes both connections internally, but the majority of what I’m seeing on Amazon is two separate cables — one to plug into an outlet, and one to plug into a computer.

I am cool with two separate cables. Just at long as it can be an external device. Got a link to any of the ones you ran into? Thanks.
