Anyone wired their own E4X internal hard-drive power cable?

+12V and +5V are inverted on the mainboard.
So, you have to invert the red and the yellow cable from standard HD-power cable.
Please check the voltage with a multimeter before installing your HD, else you will fry your HD.

Ah, thanks for letting me know about that! Are the 12 and 5V labels on the board incorrect, then, or just the other way around from a standard cable?

They are teh other way round from standard cable.
For a 2.5" HD you will just need +5V and GND (black line).

Thanks mosrob. I'm having a hard time tracking down the cable actually. Going to ask around at work and see if anyone has an old one lying around.
