Sorry about the old delay there! camera needed charging. Here's a couple of pics. The cable is just a standard 3.5" IDE to 2.5" IDE converter cable. The power runs straight in through the mini IDE plug to the drive. We use these drives in CNC machine tool controls rather than their normal laptop use.
They get left powered up continuously for years on end and are subjected to vibration and all the usual crud found in an industrial environment. The price of them isn't a lot more than their 3.5" equivalents.
