Me three, those pins shouldn't be connected afaik on a SATA drive anyway. And 
no way could that cind of damage have been done if the drive was installed in 
it's bay. Bending the SATA connecter down that way needs someone to yank down 
really hard on the cable; force enough to do that would demolish even a G5 case.
