Ok...I am having a stupid moment here. I have this Dell D820 with no hdd but it has the caddy but I know I am missing something...I think. I have a sata hdd BUT is there not something that goes on the end of the hdd so it can connect to the motherboard ? I have looked on ebay but when you dont know what its called...get the picture of the problem I am having . I have looked in my spare parts draw because I know I have one but you think I can find it...nope.

hard drive connector??

It's IDE!

yep thats the one...damn now if I could only find the one I had. I was guessing it was sata only because another seller said it was but maybe not
