looks pretty normal to me.
That picture shows the WD drive above that I have. As you see, there is an empty (and slightly smaller) "slot" between the SATA connectors and the power connector.
I think I misunderstood the power connection to a SATA drive.
Apparently, the Molex power-connector I was referring to (which is in a different place on different drives) is not used, power for the drive coming from one of the SATA connectors.
So I must look for a different explanation why my new WD drive does not seem to be working.
