Is the optical drive connector PATA/ATAPI or SATA?

On the Apple Mac Book Pro A1226,

On the iFixit Guide about optical drive replacement, there is one type of connector :

PATA / ATAPI connector

But on the iFixit Guide about dual hard drive, the solution provided :

9.5 mm SATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure

offers an other type of connector.

SATA Connector

How to know which connector is the correct one on my model ?

On iFixit, there is clearly a problem because the part sold to hold the disk on the optical bay cannot match.

Just to clarify things here: Depending on your model of system (iMac or MacBook Pro) you could have a PATA (ATAPI) optical drive or you could have a SATA optical drive (newer systems). The HD carrier used to replace the optical drive holds a SATA HD in either case and converts the I/O in the older systems to connect to the PATA interface. In the case of the newer carrier it does not convert the I/O as it's not needed. Sales is looking at clarifying the description so this is clear between the carriers.

Hi Hugo,

This is the enclosure that you need:

You can verify it by checking your system info under Hardware>ATA . I have a A1226 as well and im sure that it is ATAPI and not SATA.

Well spotted
