Hi guys, I need to find out the pin config for a travelstar latop drive... (or any 2.5 inch laptop drive..)
I just discovered (I think) the reason my M700 won't spin up the 20gig travelstar drive I bough, but will spin up older smaller drives (like my 6.4gig) The 6.4 is rated at 500 mili amps, and the 20 gig is rated at 1.0 amps, twice the power demands.. So if I can boost the power output to the drive, possibly by bridging from the CDROM power cable, it might boost it enough to get the drive working properly... Does anyone know what I can do to find out what the pin config is for one of these drives? as I understand it, these things use only 5Volts, so if can work out what the correct power wire is, I should be able to do the rest myself. any tips guys??? regards Frank
