PATA/IDE 2.5" laptop hard drive connector/adapter

[mitchdoner]

Good day all,

I did some searching around the forums for another question like this, but had no luck in finding any, so I am going to ask here.

I have a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ze4805us laptop computer, and I am in need of a PATA/IDE 2.5" notebook hard drive adapter that goes into the 40-pin ATA port at the rear of the drive.

I do not know what the adapter is technically called, and it looks a little weird, but if anyone can help me find one to purchase, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much in advance!

Why do you need an adapter? It should have one in the case...
