This contains 40 pins and fits exactly into the socket of the drive. Show
me some photos of 80 pin connector :)

The yellow one is 80 pin. There is no diference in the connector.



Do you think converting it to SATA using IDE-SATA converter will work ?


I'm not familiar with this connector, but may be worth to try if you already
have one. It probabily don't if you have to use your 40pin cable to connect
the HD to the connector, but who knows? :)

I don't see any great difference in both cables except for that one pin being closed.

Also in my drive the pin which is blocked in the 80 pin connector is absent. So how the cable change is going to make any difference ?
