Default SATA HD w/ Legacy Pwr




Can someone recommend a SATA HD (500GB or larger) which has both a SATA interface and a 4 pin molex legacy power connection?I have a WD NetCenter (Model WD5000B019) network storage device in which the HD has gone bad. The failed drive is a WD5000KS and it won’t spin up. I ordered a replacement from an online retailer, but received a WD5000AAKS drive which does not include the legacy power connector which the NetCenter device requires. The SATA connector in the NetCenter is mounted on a small PCB which covers the SATA power connector and power is supplied via a legacy plug. Due to the PCB connector, a conversion cable will not work.I tried to find a WD replacement, but their spec sheets do not detail which drives have the legacy power connector. Instead they simply state “Some drives may NOT have legacy power connectors”. I have emailed WD support but have not received a response.Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.TIA - Tom
