This is a SATA drive, it even says so but you have to read everything there is to possibly read about it. If I were selling it I would have SATA in the header. But, this is my fault. I'll return it and get the one I need and pay more attention to what I am buying. I gave it a two just because of no SATA mentioned in the header for those of us who don't pay attention. Good thing I didn't open the box first. Other than that I know this brand and stand by it, in fact when I do get the right one it will be Lite-On.
