enclosure for laptop hd

Hello, I am looking for an external enclosure that will work with this hard drive.
I have never seen a hd connection like this it does not look like SATA or IDE ive also never seen a PATA hd, but all of the enclosures Ive seen which are ide/pata
those connections are for 2 rows of pins where as this hd is single pins.

That is an adapter that fits dell computers. You will have to remove it.

From your photo, it appears to be a Western Digital drive.

Doing a search for the make and model will probably provide more info.
Western Digital site @ http://www26.westerdigital.com/

See thumbnail for more help at that link.

Expanding on tgell's post after you remove that adapter. Put it inside something like this if your looking for an actual enclosure.

I hope this is what your looking for.
