i believe its the same as the normal pc drives. :) not sure however so dont take as gospel:confused:
i will ask somebody who will know …
Jump to PostShould be as normal. The quickest way to confirm it, of course, is to plug it in and see if BIOS sees the drive. If it doesn't and can see it when the connector is reversed, then you have it successfully worked out!
