This drive has a 4-pin power connection. Pins 1, 2, and 4 exist but are not labeled. Pin 3 is not there. Which pin is +5, +12, and GND?

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have electrical schematics for these items. You should be able to operate it with a standard Sata cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Hello again. Thanks to the Interposer on the back of this optical drive the sata cable that comes with it both powers the optical drive and is used for communication. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

The Original equipment doesn't have "Pin" connections. It has a type of uniform parallel connection. P/N:8W007-A01

I assume you are talking about the Master Slave Jumper Pins? If you are going to use the Hard Drive as a Master then make sure the Jumper is appropriate. The Pata/IDE Hard Drive should be standard and the adapter should fit. Have you considered cloning the IDE Drive to a Sata Drive? Hope this helps!!

In the info I have it shows *Power pin： 4 5 （+） 7 8（-）I have the Haucam too. Nice quality too.

PATA standard uses 40 pins for communication. A device with 44 pins has 4 extra pins that act as "switches" to tell the device that it is a master, slave, cable select or other. On a laptop with one drive, no switches are usually needed. This drive should work if your laptop uses PATA (IDE) look it up on wikipedia for a picture of the pins. What I have run into with these drives is they are a bit thicker than a normal spinning HDD, maybe 1.5mm. Just don't force it. The older white version was a tad thinner but the new silver ones are the only ones I can find now. The current technology is SATA which is much faster and does not have the 40 pins or "switches" it resembles a USB or HDMI connector (IT'S NOT EITHER SO DONT TRY), you just plug and go. good luck and keep the packaging.

Each one has a little imprinted logo on them, but no serial number. When I pulled them up on the computer, it just shows up as No Name for the drive.

It is the drive model number. Each hard drive has a different model number when manufactured.

This product did not have the correct pin size for my wd 1 tb but it is an older external hard drive and I am unsure if it would help you. I took this to an electronics repair shop and had the pin from the old one put on the new power supply and it has worked perfectly since.

I do not know. I liked this drive and the way it worked very much. I ended up having to buy a new computer, but this little drive worked very well.

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

Kinda funny that no one notices the black jumper on the adapter (below the power connector) that says "IN Master, OUT Slave", meaning "ON Master, Off Slave". Just move the jumper inboard onto 1 pin for Slave, in case you later want to switch it back to Master. SATA optical drives themselves don't seem to have or need a jumper.

Each of 4-pin molex powers two hard drives. If you have 12 hard drives set up, then you need to connect all 6 of 4-pin molex. In term of power supply, typical consumer hard drive takes around 8 watt to run, 12 hdd x 8 watt = 96 watts total for 12 hard drives. I would add 20% overhead, so total power needed for 12 running hard drives is 115 watts.

I don't remember any. It is all on the drive. All I had to do was plug it in and it was recognized. Win7 64. Probably get it off of Seagate's web site too.

That is for converting a IDE to Sata, you need what looks like a bunch of Pins coming out going to a female Sata.

I'm not sure what you are asking. You plug it in to a normal power plug for power and connect to a computer via USB. Then you plug either a 3.5" sata internal drive or a 2.5" sata internal drive into the dock. the 3.5" drives normally are used by desktop computers and the smaller by laptop or notebook computers. They do have to be sata drives and NOT IDE which are pin drives. Hope this helps

Don't know. We purchased this specific drive as a replacement for a defective drive in one of our RAID systems

3 pins, but with the open sides it can accept 4 pin plugs as well. The fourth pin isn't needed.
