Just for kicks, I want to connect this drive to my pc see if I can use it for backup or something. How would one connect this to a sata cable?

This is the drive: http://www.google.com/search?q=hts5...en&tab=wf&biw=1104&bih=688&fp=ad1a9f28dc45260

It's IDE. You can hook it up to the IDE connector on your motherboard using this: KINAMAX ADP-IDE23 Laptop 2.5" to Desktop 3.5" IDE ...

Its been days since Ive used IDE. So I use that to power it and use an IDE cable to connect it?

An IDE cable wont fit on 2.5 drives the pins are closer together and there are 2 extra pins for power.
You need one of the adapters that erocker posted.
