Usually if you check the laptops model it’ll note online if it’s SATA, or IDE. You can also use pictures to reference it. IDE has a bunch of pins, while SATA is two different length ports next to each other. Also tip, most recent computers, 10 years or newer, are SATA!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.SATA has its own connector shape, distinct from the older drives. For images (and more details), I found this via Google: http://www.computerupgradesrepairs.co.uk/hdd.htm
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If it's a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive then it is sata. probably like 95% of consumer grade drives are sata.
