It depends, ones for hard drive are i think, about 40 pins, an less for the floppy IDE cable Desktop hard drives have "40" pin connectors; however, the actual number of pins is 39. There is one pin missing in the upper row, middle. I believe the reason for this is so the ribbon won't be connected upside down, it can only go one way.

The IDE/EIDE connector is a 40-pin connector that has been one of the most widely used connectors used on IBM compatible computers. Today, this connector is being replaced by the SATA connector.
