I have a macbook pro, model A1226 from late 2007. My superdrive is broken, and i took it out, and now want to try to find some sort of cable to allow me to plug in an sata laptop drive into the connection that was previously used for my superdrive. I think the superdrive used IDE, but i can't find a similar cable anywhere, which will allow me to use this old superdrive hookup to put in a second hard drive, which is sata. I have uploaded a couple of pictures of my old superdrive, and the cable which connects it to my motherboard in hopes that someone can identify the cable used, and where i might find a cable to hook up a latop sata drive i have kickin around. I know it wont be a perfect fit, but getting it connected is my main concern right now.
I attached a pic of my SATA hard drive that i want to hook up so you can see the cable configurations I am working with.
I have attached a pic of the cable which connected my superdrive to my motherboard. I need a cable or adapter to make this cable plug into my sata hard drive within my laptop.
I hope this makes sense and i hope someone can help.
Essentially, my superdrive broke, I have this one cable (shown above ) to be able to connect a new HD into the motherboard, but lack the parts or knowledge of where to find them.
Thanks so much
