That it's cheaper to make one yourself is true, but you have to be handy to do that.
I'm not that good with small wires.
the cable u have posted have something like 44F, where F is female. The link i have posted tells why is not possible to connect mainboard with female connector onboard + male/male adapter + female/female cable to the hdd.
Custom cable is easy to do, i have spend 5 min's :)
Okay, i understand what u mean now.Quote:

The only things i need are indeed a Male/Male 44 pin connector and a female 44 pin Connector?
And? Does it work?Quote:

Did u use a cable where u can connect 2 drives on?
yes, you need only 44 female to 40 poin female cable and 44 male/male connector, and of course the customization. I have currently only one hdd, but there is no problem to connect two hdd's. The ide chip should have no problem with CS on both hdd's, but maybe it is needed to setup one to master and aother one to slave. You will get only problems with the firmware (someone have tested on this formun, i dont know the thread now ), there was a litle problem with httpd twic loaded ...
Did not find the 44 male male thing yet.
And i have to test my unit again, or the 2,5" disk died or the Asus doesn't initialize the ide disk anymore.
I hope it's just a heat problem or something.
There is no need for any Gender changer. Only solder the 40 Pin "Stiftleiste 2mm pitch" on the backside then the pinout will be ready for the normal 2,5"to3,5" Laptop Adaptor.
Have a look at the picture it works great.

hi folks,
i know this is an older thread, but anyhow interessting.
are you guys be able to get the power for the 3.5" drive out of the wl hdd?
maybe this adapter (2 parts!) is interessting for you. specialy for the power connector on it.
anyway, i will also test my wl hdd with a 3.5" drive. is there any news i have to know?
thx in advance
The problem on one side is that the power supply from the WL-Hdd is
only 5 volt and the other problem is the power consumption . A 3,5" HDD do have a lot more consumption compared to a 3,5 " HDD. So because you still need anyway a new case go and buy the cheapest 3,5 " USB 2.0 case . You will get those for about 18 Euro. Then only connect the 5 Volt from the Wl-Hdd to the 5 Volt from the new power supply most things are done.

@v.d.schuit
THX! It just works fine!
If you made it possible to use a 3,5 inch HDDs you must know by now that is is also possible to use 2 HDD's.
It's working here right now.
I have a 80GB 7200 2M at MASTER
and a 60GB 72000 8M at SLAVE
Succes.
Someone knows, how much current is going into the 5V part of a 3.5"HDD?
Would it be possible just to power the 12V from extern and use the 5V from WL-HDD? What happens if the are not plugged in at the same time?
