I need to find an adapter for this stupid HD-DVD drive from 2008. Sorry, this is before my time.

Maybe one of these?

On AliExpress: 12.7mm USB 2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Case , IDE/ PATA to SATA Optical Drive External Enclosure For Laptop https://a.aliexpress.com/_Evga3Y0

Looks like a high density IDE connector.

I'd shop around for similar products, not sure if you need USB, SATA or just big IDE.

    Yeah, that's the one. I have that same enclosure. I didn't know what it was called and I wasn't getting many results for "mini IDE". I've looked around and can't find any other adapters. The one in that enclosure constantly disconnects. I want a sata adapter, but I don't think it exists.
