Help! I just received the following hard disk drive from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text) The drive arrived in a plastic protective enclosure with no box, instructions, CD, cables, or any other extras.
I assumed that the data and electrical connectors would fit my equipment; a Lenovo desktop and an Acomdata external hard drive enclosure. However, the data and power connectors on the drive are completely different and I don't know where I went wrong in ordering the drive or if there is some way to use adapter cables to make the drive work for me. After several unsuccessful hours in trying to research my problem, I find myself only more confused. Can someone around here enlighten me a bit on these matters or point me to someplace that explains the issues involved? Thanks!
