Power Plug for HD

[Jack Chit]

I just got a New Samsung SpinPoint SP1614C SATA HD and it don't have the 4
pin female plug-in on it How do I hook it up Do gigabyte boards come with
a different power plug for this type of drive, I know i'm stupid but i
thought it was the same as my other SATA drive

Standard hard drives have a 4 pin MALE connector. SATA drives may or may not have this connector, if yours doesn't you need an
adapter to convert to the new SATA power connector.

More to the point - did your motherboard come with a power adaptor for the
new SATA drives - believe it or not - most of them DON'T come with legacy
power adaptors. There should have been one supplied with your board - if
not, search on "molex sata power" as a starting point. - I can almost
guarentee one would have been supplied with your motherboard tho.
