That's good advice. Only the pins are left on the board so that might
work out OK with a decent desoldering station. Me thinks I will keep an
ear out for an old motherboard since I also need to salvage a dual USB jack.

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.

Doug.

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

Peter,
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?
