Quick SATA II connector question

I have just received a SATA drive that has a different connector than I
am used to. Instead of the Molex power connector and the 1/2" wide
cable, there is a connector that is about 1 1/2" wide which presumably
includes both the cable and power in one 1 1/2" connector.

What is the name of this kind of connector so that I can call around to
see if shops have them?

Thanks

Looks like standard SATA power and data connectors.

Andy,

How did you find that in the knowledge base? I looked and found
nothing. Anyway, I went to a shop and they knew it was the power
connector. I picked one up and all is well.
