Looks very much like there is an adapter still on the disk and
that the disk is a standard 2.5" SATA disk that needs no adapter
at all. Remove the aluminum base plate and the plastic adapter
on the disk's connector. The power connector (broad) will
connect directly to a standard SATA power connector. The data
connector (slim) will connect directly to an SATA data cable.

BINGO!

Yes, there is still an adapter plugged into the back of the
driv that needs to be removed, is only used in compatible
laptops that need it.
