It's like asking how do you contact somebody when they have two different email addresses? Try one or try the other. In this case i'd suggest perhaps not to try both unless you find that each don't work alone. What if you power it up with either PATA or SATA?– barlopCommented Jul 11, 2015 at 11:58

and what model of hard drive is that? it's very interesting– barlopCommented Jul 11, 2015 at 12:02

How was it connected in the desktop? I imagine you can use either power connector (but not both). As I recall there was a period when SATA was first introduced that the disc manufacturers allowed for SATA motherboards powered by older power supplies which lacked the SATA power connector.– AFHCommented Jul 11, 2015 at 12:08

@AFH, yeah, i bought it around the time when SATA was being introduced for the first time....and the manufacturers would have made possible the "hybrid mode".– user221238Commented Jul 11, 2015 at 12:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
