(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); okay, i'm here yet again (ahem n00b) but i this site is great for answers :wtf:
i just bought a new HP desktop for my home, 1tb Hard Drive, 4gb ram etc. Everything i need basically. And my old pc was sitting there , lookin' lonely, so i opened her up, snatched the extra ram, hard drive and the fan ( 'cause i go through alot of fans for some reason) anyway, i found an old hard drive cooler box thingy belonging to my sister upstairs, and i connected the hard drive to it, but i'm missing the cable for it. i don't exactly know what it is, i'm assuming an old usb or something of the likes, but i can't find one anywhere in the house (even searched the attic :confused: )
Help would be appreciated, i honestly don't know what it is, or if it even is the power source D=

You'll need the a cable like the one on the far right. I think it's called a Standard B plug. Search around on Google and see if you can find one in a store close to you.

Ah perfect And that is the power source right? do you know why there's the green thingy on it too? i've only ever seen that at the back of a tower so i don't know why that's there either :carling: thanks very much ! imma ask my sister can she remember where she hid it, i've been itchin' to use this thing for ages

It's a USB connector. The power connector's are the cables with yellow and red wires. As for the green thing, I am quite confused as to why that it there. That is usually there to connect an older mouse that doesn't use USB.

Sorry, that's what i meant :carling: once i get that Standard B plug, the LED's on the other side of the case will light up and i'll be able to read the drive, right?

Yeah i think i'll just ignore that green thing, i don't think that's on my other cases kay:

EDIT: the Standard B Plug doesn't provide the power, the green connection does :fa: luckily i found an adapter from that to a USB, so everything's good now
