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

Nah it depends on the region I guess. I'm a few years under that and I worked with IDE cables many times as a kid
