What kind of hard drive fits into this?
I bought a 2.5″ USB 2.0 HDD HARD DISK DRIVE CASE EXTERNAL PORTABLE.
I just found out that I can only put an internal hard drive from a laptop onto this.
I was wondering where can I find these kind of hard drives? Like if i’m looking through e-bay, what should I put on search becuase i tried internal hard drive, but appearently there are so many like
IDE
SCSI
SATA
SCA
I have no idea what to look for.
I can tell you it is NOT SCSI or SCA. Those drives do not come in 2.5″ size. (SCSI did come in SCSI many years ago, but not anymore)
It is very likely IDE (aka parallel IDE) or SATA (aka serial IDE) You have to read the manual for the case. More than likely, it is for parallel IDE, as SATA kind has only been widely available within the last 12 months.
Look at the socket inside the case. If you see two rows of 20 pins (40 pins total), then it is the parallel kind. If else, it is SATA.
