Okay I recently bought a media Player that requires a 2.5" IDE (PATA) hard drive, I thought i had one (HDD) at home, but i don't think i did. because i couldn't get it in the Media player. So i googled PATA/SATA/IDE on google images to see pictures of the connection, But it's so confusing because I see some pictures that I thought would of been PATA, and the people labeled them SATA, and vise versa... What's IDE?? just HDD type?? not actaul hardware connection (or plug). The HDD I have has a godly ammount of, what I would think are like copper pins, two rows of them... What is that called??
Can come one post some accurate web links to pictures of PATA/SATA?? I want to buy an HDD for that Media player, but I want to make sure I buy the right one.
THanks so much.......
This is the MEDIA player I bought:
