The 4 pins next to the SATA data connector on the Seagate drive are
nonstandard. Their purpose is not documented in Seagate manual:

I doubt they are some kind of secondary power connector. Far more
likely are a programming header, a debug port, an auxiliary feature
output (e.g. drive activity LED), a configuration jumper...

No need. The Newegg page shows the connectors clearly:

If this is a standard SATA enclosure, only the two keyed edge connectors
need to be used, as Kai says.
