This is probably an easy question, but I have a Seagate SATA II 2.5 drive that looks like this:
I'm looking at a Kingston SSD drive that says it's backwards compatible, but does not have the four prong connector (far right).
Is that just an optional power connector for turning the Seagate into an external drive, or are these drives not compatible after all? The Seagate died, so I figured this would be a good time to upgrade to a SSD.
Also, sorry for the large pictures, I'm not sure how to scale them down.
Thanks!
