I don't see a reference to it, but the documentation is a bit thin on the ground about the case. I have connected the data cable, there is the one you speak of to the right (its the same connector as old ide drives) so I'm familiar with that. On this drive there is a very similar one to the data connector, but is wider (to the left of the data connector)
