The other day, I put in my Microsoft Office cd to re-install it after reformatting my computer a couple of days before with no problem and no errors. The cd began to spin up, and within seconds it got to a whining noise and kept spinning faster and faster until it exploded within seconds and blew apart in the drive. I had to open up the drive and try to get all of the tiny pieces of the cd out, but even after doing so, the drive is shot. I need to buy a new one, but I do not know what it's called.
It looks like this on the back:

What are these two connections called, so that I can make make sure that I buy the right one? My older drive had a power plug that had 4 round prongs in it. This newer however does not have it...it just has these two flat plugs on the back. Both are skinny and one is about twice as wide as the other.
