I’ve never seen a hard drive with both a SATA and a PATA data connector, just a dual power connector, i just took a look and nothing. Depending on your motherboard, and on the OS you will clone the drives under, you may be able to get away with using a USB to SATA connector. or, you could always get a PATA drive, and clone to that, then clone from the pata to the new sata. You could also get a PATA TO SATA converter
