[SOLVED] Lost 4-pin ac/dc power cord

[clarke-88]

Hello,
I have two old-ish 3/5" external hard disks (not SSD).
During a house move, the ac/dc power adaptors and cords went missing.

1. A 3.5” mobile drive hd6-u2fw. I think it's a 6-pin connector
2. A Lacie 3.5” mobile drive (designed by porsche) 4-pin connector

How do I find replacements for these cords?
thanks

Be very careful. There are several versions of pinout for each connector. Choosing the wrong pinout will be catastrophic to your data. Sometimes the pinout is printed on the label of the enclosure.

Thanks for the warning. Would be better to get a new enclosure and transfer the disc drive?

I'm betting that the complete kit won't cost much more than an adapter.

If you choose to purchase an adapter ...

Warning: Be aware of non-standard mini-DIN pinouts:

Point taken.
I'll get a new enclosure.
Thank you everyone for your advice.
