Extra wire on SATA connector
The PSU just died in my wite's computer. (Conpaq Presario SR1010Z, ASUS K8S-LA motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 40GB SATA HD, Bestec ATX-300-12Z PSU)
I am certain it is the PSU as I tested it in my comp. I have another PSU I can use, but it doesn't have the SATA connectors. Her HD has both the SATA and MOLEX connectors. Can I use the standard MOLEX connector to power he HD? Would I have to change to the IDE connection? The MOLEX connectors on this PSU have four wires, one yellow, one red, and two black. The SATA connectors also have an orange wire. What is the orange wire for? I'm thinking it may affect the speed of the drive. If that is all, I am not too worried about it. Brezzio
