To make it detect it I would have to go to device manager, right ...

  • Re: Type of cable needed

    Thanks for the help on this matter. Are the connectors just identified by the name or do they also have different gender connections for each of the different named connector? For example, can a Sata port be  either a male or female?

  • Hacking the "My Book" 500GB - Upgrade to eSATA

    Update: You might not have to bend the case so much after all...  Heheh the joke is on me I guess....

And when I saw the underside of the aluminum connector inside the box, it looked ...
