How is this connector secured to the HDD?

The unit (circuit board) fits onto the HD SATA connectors but does nothave any other means of retention. It does however stay on quite wellwhen the IDE ribbon and power plug is also connected. I am using the HD in atypical bay mounted with 4 screws in a horizontal attitude. I believe you willbe satisfied just as I am because I had the same concern

For ide hard drives the adapter will plug onto the hard drive and the sata cable will plug into the adapter.For sata drives the adapter will plug onto the hard drive and the ide cable will plug into the adapter. It is supposed to work with both drives.

the pata cable and power cable are placed on one side of the board and the sata connections on the other side.. there's a doubled side adhesive that secures the HDD

post a picture of the power port on the drive and I'll take a guess for you

Yes, it's very simple. There are only 2 cables to plug in and 4 screws to mount the hard drive. The cables are different sizes so you can't get them mixed up and they only plug in one way.

I believe it is a sealed unit. Meaning you have to destroy the chassis to get the drive out.

No, it requires a little effort. Both sides need to be removed and then one can access the drive. My unit failed out of the box. POS if you ask me.

There are no data cables/connections to worry about -- put a drive in a slide-out tray and slide it back in, the SATA data/power connections are built into each bay.

This is just a hardware connector to plug your HDD to a USB port. So whatever else you want to do with the contents of the drive will have to be software driven.

Its an internal drive. It comes with brackets to screw it on inside the computer case.

I presume you're having a problem with the connector of the mentioned GoFlex hard drive and not the actualy hard drive itself. If that is the case, then yes, this should take care of the same. Taking the HDD out of the seagate case might take some work, but putting it inside this one's a breeze!

I don't know specifically, but in all the laptops that I have repaired and upgraded, even with a proprietary cradle, the drive just bolts into the cradle, and then the cradle slides into the bay. Look closely at the drive you are pulling out; you should be able to see how the drive is attached to the cradle.

Yes, on the opposite end from the cable connector, there is a button that you must press and slide back to open the case. Then an "L" shaped enge opens allowing easy access to the SSD inside. Although the button and black sides are plastic, they are reinforced with metal for the actual locking mechanism. I was pleasantly surprised to see how secure it actually is and prevents accidental opening.

This is an open case. Just add hdd's power supply usb hdd external connectors and you are off to the races. Mine works great.

It has a metal piece and the screw to put it on the HDD caddy, then it screwed on the laptop using the same screw of the dvd drive. Also it has the screws to secure the HDD on it.

NO, it simply means that it is an internal (chassis-less drive) no worries, none of your bits will fall out.

There is a micro board with a plug which connects to your HDD. There is also a SATA connector that also connects to your HDD. The power comes from a power pack (ie. like your laptop power pack) and included is a USB 2.0 and eSATA cable. Unless you use the eSATA connection, the USB 2.0 is way too slow.I personally rather use a hotswappable docking station (ie the "Plugable" brand)Plugable USB 3.0 SATA III Lay-Flat Hard Drive & SSD Docking Station (Supports UASP and Drives 8TB+)

My SATA slipped into the enclosure and plugged into the SATA plug built into the case; I didn't use the one on the ribbon. I also had to use the four small silver screws to secure the hard drive in the enclosure. It's hard to describe in words but here are a couple of links for you: (1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3BqviSl0YU (this video is a bit long but it will take you through the complete installation process and (2) http://sabrent.com/product-manuals/EC-UEIS7_Manual.pdf (has some detailed instructions and close up pics of the different connections). I hope this will be of some help to you. Good luck!! My SATA slipped into the enclosure and plugged into the SATA plug built into the case; I didn't use the one on the ribbon.

Not sure... I had been trying to get some data off of the exact hard drive from a Seagate External HD and as a last resort for the girl, I had bought this to swap out boards. I wasn't successful but the drive I bought has been a good one. I stuck it in another build. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
