    Sata involves soldering or a few adapters, ie sata to zif then a sata cable I think.
    The others are fine, the Hitachi one needs a flip cable, and the Toshiba one needs a cable with a thin end.
    Flip cables can be made by some folding technique, on the site somewhere, and thin cables can be made by sanding one down with sandpaper

    Well, this one doesn't seem to be a ZIF drive, so you won't be able to install it. Sorry.

    sorry for the confusion, but it was broken, like non functional, rather than incompatible

    Yes. It has a SATA interface, I think.

    Strange, according to the site http://www.nowdirect.com/exec/partInfo/ ... &N=295+531 it should be the correct one.

    The Toshiba site usually specifies it when the drive has a ZIF/LIF interface. It doesn't say such a thing for this one, and besides the picture makes me suspect it's a SATA interface at the back. Need to confirm that, though, I might be wrong.

    The MK1214GAH has a ZIF/LIF interface.
