I salvaged the Caviar Blue HD (model WD6400AAKS) from my 2009 PC. I have tried to find a HD enclosure that would fit online without luck. Any suggestions?
Caviar Blue has an eight pin power connection and I think the enclosures I’ve tried don’t accommodate that.
Are there online places that would have HD enclosures suitable for a 2009 HD?
You need an external power adapter. Just buy one on Amazon that includes the power supply.
You need an enclosure that comes with an external power supply.
That 8 pin connector arranged in a rectangle (4x2) is not the power connector.
Thanks for clearing up the function of the 4 X 2. When I unplugged it from the drive I thought the wires led back to the power supply.
Must be some other issue. Maybe the drive is dead.
