Hi, I need to connect a 2.5 hard drive from a Toshiba laptop but I can't
figure out which connection it has.

It's not IDE like this:

It's not SATA like this:

It looks more like this pin configuration:

but what the heck is that?

I think it is this disk: http://www.netcomdirect.com/tosmk2018gap.html
So ATA otherwise known as IDE ..

.... but the interface, the pin configurations does not look like and
does not fit IDE , or SATA ( I have both enclosures)

..


You do realize that an IDE pin configuration for a 2 1/2" laptop drive
is smaller than an IDE for a desktop drive I hope. I am not sure from
your comments if that is what you are facing, but it might.

Yes, I have two X 2.5 enclosures one is for IDE and the other is for
SATA. I also have a 3.5 enclosure for IDE.

The HDD I wish to connect is from a now dead Toshiba laptop. It's 2.5 in
size but I'm thinking at the moment that it must have specific Toshiba
interface which connects neither to standard IDE or SATA.

I've had no luck finding an adapter/enclosure as yet.
