Hi,
Can someone help me identify pin 1 on mk1003gal? I bought an adapter and having trouble finding the correct way of attaching the drive to it.
TIA.

Without power applied, plug the adapter into the HDD. Using a multimeter, test for continuity between a ground point on the adapter and a ground point on the HDD PCB (eg a screw hole). Invert the adapter and repeat the test.

For additional confidence, repeat the test for the +3.3V test points. The +3.3V pins on the HDD side should be identifiable by their thicker power traces.

Thank you, Franc, I could figure out based on Tomset's answer.
Now the only thing I need is some VSC's to clear SMART and G-list. :)

You can read the CPs using appropriate commands in MHDD or other ATA terminal software such as HDDSuperTool:
