you probably need an enclosure to power it, unless you want to hotwire those contacts into the power supply for your desktop.

If you're lucky the drive will have a molex connector (four pins in a row) which you can plug in to your power supply.

If the info is really irreplaceable, I would go buy an enclosure for the drive that has a power supply. If it works, hooray! If it doesn't, you take it back.

Molex is a manufacturer of many different styles of connectors not a style FYI.

ok, but this is what I'm referring to and I've always known it colloquially as a "molex" connector:



if there's a more specific name for it let me know

Yeah I know. I used to be the same way about a different style connector and then I was trying to buy parts one time and found out Molex makes like 100,000 connectors realized I had to me more specific.

the adapter I bought comes with a little dingy like that

I just have no place to plug it in

So I'm probably going to return the cord and spend an extra ten bucks on an enclosure

The red is +5V and the yellow is +12V. Be a man and build yourself a fucking power supply.
