Sometimes the two connectors are so close as to be used as one

I don't have it in front of me so can't measure the connector but the one on Amazons link don't match ?

can i do something? do i need adapter? is that small sata 1.8 inch?

As described above and in the attached links, the small combo SATA ports require matching plugs.... I didn't examine each one there but you should be able to match up what you have with one of them.
