    Hello folks. Got a question for you.

    I'm in possession of a HDD enclosure that I am using for a SATA drive. (See here for the enclosure:
    http://www.meritline.com/3-5-sata-and-ide-hard-drive-external-enclosure.html). Well, it no longer functions. So here is what I want to do: simply replace the cables inside of the enclosure to see if some of the cables are defunct. I've already had the drive replaced so I seriously doubt that the drive is fried. What are the chances of two drives being fried?

    Take a look at this picture that is part of the drive:
    (http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/meritline_2029_38915142).

    I can easily find a SATA data cable, but what about this power cable? It's not simply a 15 to 4 pin power cable is it? It's to big to be one of those, isn't it? Any ideas where is can find this type of power cable at?

    Many thanks folks!

    For some reason, the link did not work. I can't get it to display properly as one long string of unbroken text, so here it is. Just copy and paste it as an unbroken line. Here is the correct link:

    Or search for "3.5" SATA and IDE Hard Drive Dual-purpose USB2.0 Aluminum External Enclosure" at the site.
