Not sure how it's confusing. It's the back of the connector, with the tab on top. As was specified. 🤷♂️Can anyone post a pic of the connector pin out instead of that asci art pic? It’s impossible to decipher which side is which. Especially confusing when we see the pic of the cable with red wires on the outside.
Mainly since the connector sits vertical and the chart is horizontal. So it sounds like if you’re looking at the connector while it’s plugged in, the latch is on the left, rotate 90 degrees and now it’s on top. Is the 3rd ground required? (Where the 3.3v is normally). I’ve tried with and without the last ground By binding to another and haven’t gotten a drive to power up yet.Not sure how it's confusing. It's the back of the connector, with the tab on top.

So I noticed something interesting. When my spinner hard drive is cleaning up a time machine back up inside the J2i bracket, there is a fair amount of sound/noise. It sounds like rain falling on metal pitter patter. Anyone else notice this?
You have a loose connection or badly seated pin. Any combination of 12v/5v/gnd will power a drive.Mainly since the connector sits vertical and the chart is horizontal.

do you have any of these cables to sell. I just got my 7.1 Mac Pro and want to put in 3.5 hard drives for backup and time machineThese are actually kind of fun to make and I have some leftover parts, enough for 3-4 more. PM me if you want one.

Yeah, my friend who's printing the enclosure for me found the cables. Super excited. I ordered them from B&H and they're being delivered tomorrow^^^^Looks like Promise is selling the cable separately:
