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.

You don't by any chance have it upside down?
