Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts
December 4th, 2011, 5:46
Hi, I have a hard drive in question with the SD1a written on the drive itself - so I assume the factory has already updated it ...
The SATA connector on the drive itself has broken off, so I took the rest of it off and started to solder iron it.
I am first going to solder shortish wires on it then attach the SATA cable on it - might be easier.
1. The SATA connector has 7 pins, but when you break open the SATA cable it has 8 wires. Can someone advise me which one gets left out??
I don't have anything important as it was only a backup drive.
Many thanks.
