It depends. If it is a laptop hard disk, and you know the interface (IDE or SATA, there is a difference), you would purchase a 2.5" IDE/SATA Hard Disk Enclosure. If it is a desktop hard disk, and you know the interface (IDE or SATA, there is a difference), you would purchase a 3.5" IDE/SATA Hard Disk enclosure. Hopefully this helps.
Sata of course. It is much much better/faster/economical.
Of the following: ide,fdd,scsi,eide the "FDD" stands for "floppy disk drive", and is not a hard drive.
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
The only advantage of using a IDE hard drive is maximum compatibility. It appears that SATA hard drives have a lot more advantages than an IDE hard drive.
No. IDE Hard Drive cannot be replaced with a Sata Hard Drive because the connectors are different. example. if you have sata hard drive installed on your machine. and you purchase IDE Hard drive. you won't be able to install the IDE hard drive where the Sata hard drive was because the IDE connectors are a different shape and size towards the Sata hard drive connectors.

yes. pata and ide are the same thing.
1. IDE Hard Disk 2. SATA Hard Disk 3. SCSI Hard Disk 4. Ultra SCSI Hard Disk
No, not at all. Despite the hard drive being old school IDE or SATA, the computer will recognize it as a new storage deice. Note for the older IDE hard drives, if you desire to install more than one, you will have to use jumpers.
Hard Disk Drive.
