I have recently taken apart some old PCs and found an HDD that uses this cable, but my motherboard doesn’t seem to have a connector. Is there a way to connect this to SATA or PCIE?

edit: hdd, not ssd

    This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don’t see how a twist would work electrically.

      Yes, there is definitely the “cable select” method with pin 28. Maybe instead of cutting it, they swapped it with a GND pin or something?
