Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital WD3200KSRTL Caviar 320 GB SATA 3.5-Inch Hard Drive
Customer Review: Requires SATA power cable (not 4-pin Molex)
Summary: 5 Stars
This drive is in a retail package suitable for display on a store shelf (i.e. it's not an OEM bare drive), so it comes with some extras: SATA data cable, instruction pamphlet in multiple languages, 4 mounting screws, and a CD containing the Data Lifeguard setup and diagnostic software.
A SATA hard drive requires two cables: a SATA data cable (included in this package) and a *power* cable (not included in this package).
The included data cable is straight on both ends (neither end has a 90-degree bend as some SATA cables do). On the drive end, there is a big plastic nub that helps you get a better grip. As another reviewer mentioned, in a computer where the drive is mounted sideways in the chassis (ex: Gateway 710X), the nub may stick out so far from the back of the drive that it prevents the case from closing. However, it's just soft clear plastic (you can see through it) with no wires inside. You can saw off however much you need to with an Xacto saw or hacksaw or maybe a knife.
Older Western Digital drives had two types of POWER connectors on the back: a SATA power connector and a "legacy" rectangular white 4-pin Molex connector. You could use either one.
Two of the images associated with this item show this drive with the additional legacy Molex 4-pin power connector on the back. This item does NOT have that power connector.
This drive only has a SATA power connector on the back. If your computer power supply only provides you with the old-type Molex power plugs, you will need a Molex-to-SATA power plug converter such as this one: Syba SY-CAB40007 Molex 4 Pin to 2x 15 Pin SATA Power Cable (5.5 Inches).
Amazon shows a cable that is "often ordered" with this drive, but it is a data cable. This drive already comes with a data cable. You are more likely to need the power cable adapter described above.
The drive is amazingly quiet. I cannot hear it at all over the sounds of my 5 year old WD 160GB drive. It is also amazingly fast.
