You need two cables going into the SATA drive, data and power. Older power supplies don't have the SATA power connector and most SATA drives don't have the older type power connector, so you need a little converter device. It could be worse. I recently had to buy one. How do you say "power cable converter" in Chinese when none of the sales people speak decent English! -- Sandy Harris, Nanjing, China -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
