I just recieved a WD 74gb Raptor for Christmas, and realized that it talks about some type of "Sata 15P Cable". Note, this is the first time that I'm using a stat drive so I'm fairly new to how they work. I searched around, and Xoxide states Serial drives don't use standard 4 pin molex cables. However, explicitly on the drive, it says:
"Use either Sata 15P Power Connector or Legacy power connector, not both".
This leads me to believe I COULD use a normal 4 pin molex, however I want to be sure. Do I now need to get a Sata power cable before I hook it up? If not, would a Sata Power cable be a better choice for any reason over that standard 4 pin molex?
Thank you .
