Review on Enhance Data Security with WesternDigital Secure Connect Cable for WD (WDSC50RCW) by Tim Wilske

Although Western Digital's online manual recommends the cable for a more secure connection than standard SATA data cables and power cables, my new Western Digital Caviar GP 500 drive lacks the required legacy ATA power connector - yes just a hole which I assume was on older drives. So the cable is useless. A standard detachable SATA data cable works well with a SATA power cable from a power supply anyway and is reasonably reliable.
