Hitachi USB Drive SATA Connections

August 30th, 2016, 19:14

I have a pretty new Toshiba USB Drive MQ03UBB300 that I need to put a SATA connection onto as there are no compatible SATA boards (unless you know different). I have included a picture of what I think described the layout of the Toshiba USB:-

W = Write
R = Read
P = Power
G = Ground

From left to right as you look at the usb connection, I presume its A+ A- B- B+
Can anyone with electrical knowledge (aka @fzabkar) confirm this.

HI

No....The G is +5V, P are USB2.0 connections, W and R are USB3.0 connections. GND (Ground) are the 2 connections at the left side of P.

Regards

There seems to be a SATA based model, but it has not quite hit the markets yet. Hard to find.

Thanks for all the above (and the PM). Learned a lot about these USB connections.
