As sure as I can be from reading specs off the web. The drive appears to have the standard IDE/parallel ATA connector used in 2.5" drives intended for laptops before SATA came along. (If you look at the two ribbon cable connectors, the larger one is for 3.5" IDE drives and the smaller for 2.5".)

That's correct, and it appears on your computer as an external USB drive (which it is). It's basically all the electronics of the enclosure without the box. Not recommended for a permanent fixture, but great for situations where you need a temporary connection to copy stuff.
