Hi!

I have the same problem locating the connector.
A call to the HP support resulted in the advice to buy a new harddisk from HP(!). There the desired connector is included. No seperate order for the connector possible because it is no spare part.

This would be an investment of 391.2 EUR.

If someone has a hint where to obtain the connector, I would be really glad!

Greetings!
Harald
