I have recently taken apart some old PCs and found an HDD that uses this cable, but my motherboard doesn't seem to have a connector. Is there a way to connect this to SATA or PCIE?

edit: hdd, not ssd

I have a USB cable with that and the laptop variant on the end. Works really well. Hard drives from 20-30 years ago show up on my MacBook as easy as flash drives. But very slow. As expected for those drives.
