All SATA drives have an "L" shaped data cable and an "L" shaped power  
cable.

The goal was: for the first time all kinds of drives ... 3.5" hard,  
2.5" hard, 5.25" optical ... use the very same physical interface in  
all cases.

I believe there were a few very early SATA drives which used a 4-pin  
Molex/AMP power connector, but those drives have long since been  
purged from the distributor stock.
