    Alright, so recently my Seagate Free Agent Pro 1tb External hard drive went out on me and I wasnt able to get the data off of the drive so I decided to purchase a new external exclosure to transfer the hard drive to. Well I when I got the hard drive out of the original exclosure I noticed that the connection to the hard drive was different than the standard connection to the hard drive as shown below....

    My question is does anyone know how I can get my hard drive to connect with the connections to the new external enclosure? Thanks in advance.

    The HDD is SATA and the case is IDE. I think there may be a cable that can convert from IDE to SATA but I'm not sure how well it'll work with a case.
