This might seem like a weird question but I was wondering if you guys could help me identify a power connection and /or even point me in the right direction into getting one.

Anyway I bought a hard drive and a nice icydock enclosure, so this came with an interesting power connector which looks very much like a S-Video connection. :confused: (See pic Below) So I have this in my wall unit next to my PS3 (for media) and the reason for this post is that I would like to get another power adaptor connector so that it will be easier for me to unplug and take the HDD to the PC or transport it around, without having to crawl behind the wall unit with all the millions of wires there.

Anyone know where to find one of these? I've asked a few places but they looked at me as though I asked them the square root of 2378904233623!! Thanks in advance. :)

Matrix Computers in Alberton sells Hard Drive Enclosures that use the same type of connector. They go for around R150 to R250, so maybe you can just pick one up with another HDD enclosure. There is a slim chance that their multi-plug adaptors also have that same type of power connector (I'll have to check when I get home)... but since they are also around R150.00 you are in the same ball park.
 
Can you post the specs or a closeup picture of the power supply sticker figures?

Will see if I can get a picture of it tonight.

Sounds promising, will look at matrix tomorrow. Thanks :)
