I think I souild start off slow because I am missing something.
SATA Cable has 5. or 4. Cables and 15 Pins.
Is this the Data Cable??
NO, IT IS NOT THE DATA CABLE. AS I STATED, IT'S THE POWER CABLE.What you are missing is the ability to read....
Pinouts are:
pins 1, 2 and 3 +3.3v cable color Orange
pins 4, 5 and 6 Ground cable color Black
pins 7, 8 and 9 +5.0v cable color Red
pins 10, 11 and 12 Ground cable color Black
pins 13, 14 and 15 +12.0v cable color Yellow
The site I already linked has all the info you want and has lovely color photos of cables. Did you not read the site as requested? If not, why not?
Here are a couple of quotes from the site:
SATA was introduced to upgrade the ATA interface (also called IDE) to a more advanced design. SATA includes both a data cable and a power cable. The power cable replaces the old 4 pin peripheral cable and adds support for 3.3 volts (if fully implemented). The connector is shaped so it can only be plugged in the correct way.
You have to be careful about SATA power cables. Some of them are missing the 3.3 volt wire. People with older power supplies often use adapters which convert from 4 pin peripheral cables to SATA power cables. But since 4 pin peripheral connectors only supply 5 and 12 volts, the SATA connector is missing 3.3 volts (there's no orange wire). There are also a few older power supplies which inexplicably have SATA power cables which are missing the 3.3 volt wire. Currently, SATA drives rarely use 3.3 volts. That may be because there are too many people using adapters so the drive makers don't want the headaches which come with using 3.3 volts. But in the future, 3.3 volt drives may become common so you need to be careful when using SATA power cables which don't implement 3.3 volts.
If you still have questions for goodness sake
READ THE LINKED SITE Edit: Because you seem to be too lazy to look at sites I've attached a picture from the linked site.
