Is it the C7 end? I can't tell from your picture.

It's either a figure 8 looking plug or figure 8 with one side flat type plug. either of those are pretty standard. Rat shack should have what you seek.

the plug/jack/cord part won't be the problem, you have to make sure the DC side is the right size/style and puts out the correct Volts/Amps for the drive thingy

I know we could get you the cable cheaper, but I just checked Western Digital and they sell the cords for $9.99.

That's it! radio shack would have these? I'll stop by at lunch and see if I can locate it. Is there a name for things like this?

I called western digital and they're going to send me one but it's going to take 7-10 business days. I figured these things were cheap enough I could just go pick one up.

Radio Shack probably does have them. I think Radio Shack calls them "figure-8" sockets. Try something like this. There are many versions of that cable, and you'll have to ask the Radio Shack personnel about the differences.

thanks dullard, picked that exact one up at radio shack, $5.40.
