SATA Connector Question

Is the SATA connector on a 2.5" notebook drive a different SATA
connector than is found on the 3.5" desktop drive? I need to copy a
notebook drive, and the connector at least looks different. If it is
different, where can I find a suitable SATA-to-IDE or SATA-to-SATA
adapter cable? I already have a SATA-to-IDE adapter for 3.5" internal
drives.

The connector is either a standard one, or something you will
be hard pressed to find an adapter for. Can you post the
exact model?
