My only excuse for asking this question here is that I am running CentOS-6.5 on my HP MicroServer. I recently purchased a 2TB WD hard drive (WD20ESRX), and was surprised to find that the power-connector on this drive did not seem to be in the correct place for the drive-bay. (The drive bay closes, but the disk does not spin.) The power connector on the drive is further from the SATA connectors than on the other 4 drives I have in my two MicroServers - it is about 2/3 of the way across the back of the drive, on the opposite side to the SATA connectors. I'm surprised because I always thought that the positions of the connectors on SATA hard drives was standard. How can I find whether or not a hard drive will connect properly in the drive-bay? Was I unlucky to choose a drive that did not fit? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
