Samsung Hybrid Hard Drive Extends Laptop Battery Life

For Me The IDE Cable Is The One
Talkback To remove it from the HDD you have to tug at the ribbion bit of the cable right next to where the connector is. I have lost count at the number of times the back has snapped off and left the rest of the connector in the drive.
