Cables

Type 1 HDD Data/Power Cable

Used on trinity consoles, this cable featured a red SATA cable and a yellow HDD power cable. The HDD power cable connected to the motherboard under the HDDM.

Type 2 HDD Data/Power Cable

Used on corona & newer consoles, this cable changed the power cables from yellow to blue from the Type 1 cable. It also was modified to have a piece of heat shrink connecting the two cables together as the HDD power cable was moved over by the ODD and HDD SATA connectors.
