Hello All! First time posting!
I have a Ricoh SP c820dn that I want to install a hard drive in. I understand that the hard drive is a regular SATA hard disk and so is the data cable.
However, I have been unable to find the correct power cable which is a SATA power to 4-pin header. The plug for the 4-pin is very odd and I haven't been
able to find anything quite like it since PC usually use a Molex connector.
I did call Ricoh and the tech spent quite some time trying to find a part for me, but the closest he got was a part for the MP4000 "d3625131".
What is odd, is that I've found pictures of different power cables with some using 4 wire leads to 4 pins, and others with 3 leads into a 4-pin header.
My assumption is that the 3-1/2" drives need the 4 power leads and the 2-1/2" drive only need the 3 wires. Either way, I have a 4-pin socket on the main board.
I don't want to try and make something and wire it wrong and blow my main board, so....
Hoping for some help in making or even to purchase the correct part if anyone knows where I can find one. Google has been no help.
Thank you!
