I am replacing my optical drive in my early 2008 iMAC desktop (already removed it thanks to your guide), but now am unsure of what replacement to order. How do I know if it is PATA, SATA or otherwise? Probably a dumb question for you guys, but I'm just learning. I know you should be able to tell by the connector. Any help?

The drive says: Model UJ-875 Super 875CA Manufactured: January 2008 Its a Panasonic

The optical drive, in my early 2008 24" Imac, is not grabbing discs anymore. I was wondering if you ever found the answer to your question. After some research, I found someone that had the same problem as me and changing out the cable was all that was needed. Does anyone know which cable I need to purchase? Thanks in advance, Shannon
