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

    You can twist the IDE cable to switch the M/S configuration, too. It is not limited to the Shugart bus. But I have to admit it was more common there.

      This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don’t see how a twist would work electrically.
