I have recently taken apart some old PCs and found an HDD that uses this cable, but my motherboard doesn’t seem to have a connector. Is there a way to connect this to SATA or PCIE?
edit: hdd, not ssd

Thats an IDE connector, i think. Old conection for drives. AFAIK there are no SSDs that use IDE so its probably using a SATA to IDE adapter so you could just take it out and conect directly to SATA.
My first SSD had PATA(IDE) connnection. It was tiny, but stilll faster than my 7200 rpm HDD for gaming at the time.
There are SSD drives still being sold with IDE(PATA) connections! Expensive for what they are. Probably replacements for older vending machines or other electronic things that last decades.
