Hi Christopher and John

Electrical they are nearly identical. 

At most hardware shops you can get a simple adapter for a few $/€/£ which converts the 2½" connector to that of a 3½" ATA drive and a power cord.
Then you can mount the drive in a standard desktop machine and ghost again and again until you go crazy.

The laptop IDEs have a different connector (smaller), thus only a laptop IDE
drive will plug into that case, not to mention they are extremely tiny, just
big enough for the small laptop drive.  A larger (desktop) drive will not
physically fit, nor will it fit electrically.
