3 Is the optical drive connector PATA/ATAPI or SATA?
On the Apple Mac Book Pro A1226,
On the iFixit Guide about optical drive replacement, there is one type of connector :
But on the iFixit Guide about dual hard drive, the solution provided :
9.5 mm SATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure
offers an other type of connector.
How to know which connector is the correct one on my model ?
On iFixit, there is clearly a problem because the part sold to hold the disk on the optical bay cannot match.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Just to clarify things here: Depending on your model of system (iMac or MacBook Pro) you could have a PATA (ATAPI) optical drive or you could have a SATA optical drive (newer systems). The HD carrier used to replace the optical drive holds a SATA HD in either case and converts the I/O in the older systems to connect to the PATA interface. In the case of the newer carrier it does not convert the I/O as it's not needed. Sales is looking at clarifying the description so this is clear between the carriers.
