BrainDrain Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) I'm looking at a retro laptop for a friend, I've just opened the case, and this harddrive is not a normal 2.5" ide... its like twice the height, and has a longer IO port with more pins... In the photo its still got the laptops hdd holder on though, its basically a normal 2.5" drive but twice as high, and with a longer port, does anyone know what it is?

CoffeeFiend Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 44 pin IDC? That's a standard 2.5" IDE plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainDrain Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 That's it beside my 2.5"->3.5" adapter o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Looks like a 44 pin IDC but with a 0.1" pitch. Still can't see it be anything else than IDE. SCSI doesn't use 44 pins (rather 50, 68 or 80), and even the older "retro" stuff (ESDI/ST-506) doesn't use 44 pins either. Just how old is this thing anyways?
