    Followup to my previous post: My HD is a 120 Gb Seagate SATA disk. I'd like to buy an adapter, so I can copy data to another machine. I pulled the HD out, but was surprised to see that it didn't have an 'ordinary' pin arrangement -- i.e., I'm used to seeing like two orderly rows of pin slots. On this disk, there is a more complex arrangement, with plastic sections and no obvious pin slots. Is this usual for a SATA disk, or has HP/Compaq done something unusual?

    More importantly, can anyone suggest a good model/vender for an adapter?
