Sata Power Convertor - WD5000AAKS

[rulocal]

I have just ordered a Western Digital WD5000AKS and am moving from an IDE setup. Does the WD include a powe convertor in the box and or an IDE legacy power socket?

Cheers

If it's a bare OEM drive (and virtually all HDDs are) then you won't even get a box, let alone anything in it.

I don't have one myself so I'm working off photos and it looks like the drive only has SATA power.

The only drives i know that have both are the Raptors. You will need a sata power adapter. No doubt someone can help you out.
