Is the sata desktop interface different than the one for laptops?  And, if so, are there reliable converters between laptop sata and desktop sata, like for the ide drives, where it's just physical conversion of wiring?

You can use a SATA laptop (2.5") drive in a computer/caddy with no adapter needed.
