On the (bad) advice of a Dell support rep, I purchased a Micron 7300 Pro SSD drive for a Precision 3630 desktop, being assured that it would be completely compatible.
It is not.
Instead of the standard SATA connectors, one for power and one for data, this drive has one long connector that actually has two tiers – see photo below. Adding to my frustration:

My exasperation has brought me to this fine forum, so that’s a silver lining for sure. Here’s hoping that someone here might be able to point me to an adapter cable that will allow this drive to play nicely in my Dell sandbox.
This is a 3.8T SSD drive, Micron 7300 Pro, Model No. MTFDHBE3T8TDF. Many thanks in advance.
