So, I'm looking to retrieve data from an HDD and I'm

Lol. The circled parts on the left for both drives aren't for power.

The larger connector on the right is for a Sata based power (just power, no data) and the short connector in the middle is for Sata based data transfer (just data only).

Hopefully this should resolve your PSU issue.

I thought those connected to the power adapter.

>>55870806
2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives have the exact same data and power connectors. That wide set of pins on the right is power, the thinner set between that and your circle is data.

>>55870806
You idiot those pins aren't for the end user.

I already know I'm dumb.

thats not the power connectors

You don't need a PSU. USB can power your hard disk just fine.

Just buy a fucking docking station and be done with it.

>This whole fucking thread

Okay OP Imma break it down for you

Those pins of the far left? Dont even mess with those, no one uses those fucking things anymore.

The middle one? Thats a SATA connector, the data goes over those and thats what your plug into your mother board

The far right ones are the power. Its the same type of power plug you'd also find on a CD/DVD drive.

Hope this helps.

Those are Legacy IDE pins.
You don't need to give 2 shits about them.
You need to ignore them.

Also Nice Wikipedia picture.
