So I’ve got this old external hard drive lying around, probably 3 or 4 years old now.
The thing is, I managed to lose the power cable somewhere along the way, and lately, I haven't been able to track one down anywhere here in Washington, D.C.—tried looking at Chipotle, Boston, even H&M... nothing.
I don't actually know the technical name for the power connector, but if I had to describe it... it's basically that kind of port where a mouse or a keyboard would plug in perfectly, you know? Like, a round input, a little notch at the "12 o'clock" position, and then 6 pins inside—two on the bottom, one on the left, and one on the right.
I'm just trying to figure out what this cable is officially called, without having to give this whole weirdly descriptive explanation... or better yet, does anyone know where I can actually pick one up around town in the US?
Thanks a ton 🙂
