I'd recommend Acronis for the backup.
As far as I'm aware 2.5" SATA mechanical drives take the same connectors as 3.5" drives. SSDs certainly do.

yep this is correct the 2.5" sata drives will plug directly into the same cables you use for sata 3.5" drives.

i also recomend using Acronis to backup your data on the drive beffore you put it in the new computer.
