Be sure to specify how many pins. Differnt enclosures require different cables.

Plus just because it 'looks' the same doesn't mean it is. I fried a hard drive because my 2 enclosure's power cords 'looked' the same.

Yeah, but you probably fixed the damned thing, didn't you?

;)

Nope... the components on the pcb lit up like fireworks! Let all the white smoke out... dead forever. :( Luckily it was only a 6Gig drive...

[dragonone]

ouch
i guess i'll just take the hd out and tell him to use a new enclosure

It was cool to watch the current ate through the path of least resistance. :)
