I got one of those, it's pretty neat. 40-pin and 44-pin (laptop) parallel plugs molded right into the ends of it, plus a SATA socket. So for laptop drives, you can just plug it right in. For larger drivers, there's a separate power brick with a 4-pin Molex, plus a Molex-to-SATA-power adapter. A short (5"?) SATA cable is also included. My only complaint is that on some hard disks, the USB cable/molding blocks access to the Molex socket on the drive. Amazon has it too, if someone wants pictures (but buy local, blah blah blah): http://www.amazon.com/USB-SATA-5-25-Cable-Adapter/dp/B000YJBL78 -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
