Peter,
I'm not sure of where locally to get one of those - but you might try looking at Digikey (their Canadian website is http://dkc1.digikey.com/ca/en/digihome.html ). They have some connectors like that, but it has been years since I dealt with them so I have no idea what their minimum order or shipping costs are.

I'd be a little worried that the circuitboard might be damaged - modern motherboards usually have many layers and the holes where components mount are sometimes used to interconnect traces on the different layers. If there has been no damage, you need to be very careful about removing the old connector, to avoid mechanical or thermal damage.

Regards,
Doug.

The connector on the motherboard. My son pulled it off somehow and its the primary SATA.

Do you mean the actual connector soldered into the motherboard, or the cable that runs from the motherboard to the disk drive?

Thanks, guys. This explains a lot. Too bad that SS drives were so expensive at the time. I would have bought one of those instead. BTW, does anyone know where to order a replacement SATA connector for a motherboard?
