Default HDD enclosure / caddie query??

I want to get a HDD enclosure / caddie for the hard drive below.

Clicky 1

Clicky 2

The enclosures I've looked at, on Amazon and Ebay, seem to be either IDE or SATA but I'm not totally sure which my drive is? The thing that confuses me is that its listed as IDE and ATA-100. The ATA confuses me as I'm not sure if it means SATA or not.

Can somebody tell me with 100% confidence which enclosure type I need, IDE or SATA?

Many thanks,

Craig.

Those drives are both IDE (AKA PATA or ATA).

Get an enclosure that deals with PATA and SATA I got one that caters for both off ebay for £15. As said your drive is IDE or aka PATA/ATA-100(133)
