Power Connector
Hard disk drives use a standard, 4-pin male connector plug, that takes one of the power
connectors coming from the power supply. This keyed, 4-wire plastic connector provides +5
and +12 voltage to the hard disk. See this
discussion of drive power plugs in the power supply reference for more information.
