In this image, on top is a normal sata hdd with its connector, below it is an internal DVD drive with another connector. What is this connector? I'd like to buy a USB -> whatever-this-is adaptor so I can use it as an external DVD drive.

Its a mini power sata which you can find in dell computers. Also known as micro sata.

2I second that "7+6 pins" part, that seems important. I was unable to find it at Amazon unless I searched with that string. For example: amazon.com/LUTIONS-Slimline-Converter-Optical-Adapter/dp/…– cjbarthApr 23, 2020 at 15:04
in lamens terms it's called ODD sata. (Optical Data Device)
if you need a standard sized connector, ebay has them at 5$ each, lol.
look up Sata to ODD sata, it won't disappoint.
