There are two main different types of external cases.
PATA and SATA.
The polder drives that take the big flat cable and bog molex 4 pin
power connector are PATA.
The one you describe is an SATA drive.
The PATA are what used to be called IDE drives.
So you want a SATA external enclosure.

No, I didn't see the point in antagonizing people who, for all practical

ATA and IDE are the same...so then it's just PATA or SATA.

It's not faster. In real-time, USB gives less than half the reported speeds.

On the last system I built even the DVD/CDR's are all SATA interfaced.
