hard drive - What kind of HDD connectors are this?

What kind of connector is this?

I have no physical access to it. This picture was sent to me by a friend who is a consultant for the owner of the disk. It looks like a SAS or SATA connector but only relatively.

Conjectures:

• It's an HDD (we're not sure as we have no physical access to it)


• The sticker is removed on the other side so there is no model or p/n or manufacturer to look for


• Someone at the place thinks that this might have something to do with some IBM hardware

What I think

For me it is a regular SAS or SATA drive with the connector cap broken. From left to right would be the two 3-pin, and the one 4-pin connector are the SATA power ASSY skipping the COM pins but one.

The right-most might be the SAS or SATA data bus.

I have had a couple of hard drives that had the connector broken at the hard drive but I don't really remember what it looks like. I don't have a spare one to break apart at present.

What do you think?

It will be interesting to find out for real what it is.
