SATA or IDE

[TheAJ]

Hey

Couple weeks ago, my main computer broke down due to HDD failure. So i went to buy a new one over the phone, and the guy asked what type is my hard drive, but i wasn't sure because my computer is broken etc

So i opened up my computer and look at the harddisk, but it doesn't say anywhere SATA or IDE, So im confused wether my computer is SATA or IDE

Serial ATA may also be in various colours, but yeah, it never exists as flat ribbon.
