Can someone tell/show me which wire/s in the HDD casing to supply power?
Gonna add LEDs, but i don't wanna splice more wires than I have to, finding it myself.

the yellow wire is +5v and the black one is the ground. good luck with the leds, the 5mm fit a little tight, so 3mm would be best, but i just filed my 5mm leds down a little bit and they work fine

Thanks for the info, edge. That's what I figured. Yellow/Red is usually the positive. Just wanted to be sure M$ didn't' pull a switcharoo.

The way I cut the HDD case, I could actually use 5mm, but I got a box of clearwater blue 3mm.
