Default SATA 2.5" drives - need an adapter???

Do 2.5" SATA drives have exactly the same connections as the 3.5" SATA
drives?

So no adapter is required? Unlike the 2.5" IDE drives that require a
special adapter to plug into standard MB IDE/power connections.

Thanks!

Yes, the 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives use the same connectors, no cable
adapter is needed.
