Does the red line on the cable go to the inside or outside when connecting a new hard drive to a computer? |
[Edit] |
Answer
I didn't understand your question properly but I can say one thing. You have to see that the red line on the data cable and the power cord should be side by side.
Answer
Inside. As the previous answer said, the red line is usually closer to the power connector.
(This is USUALLY the case. Older hard drives did not follow this convention. And there may not be a specification for this. To be sure, look closely at the hard drive for a distiguishing mark on one end of the connector, such as a "1" or triangle indicating which end the red line should be.)
