Identifying this plug

I have this 3.5Inch HDD enclosure, Im unsure of what the power connector on the right it actually called. Would someone be able to identify this socket so i can go about buying a cable?
Thanks in advance

Those appear to be video and not power ports. Left, I think, is Firewire and the right looks to be S-Video.

Edit: And you want the actual image url and not the url of the site it's hosted on.

Wolfshadw :

the one on the left is USB type B (for data over USB) and the on one the right should be a power connector of some sorts to power the disk

One is USB, the other PS/2.

Yeah i knew the USB one, but PS2 Is six pin, thats only 5 pin . and im pretty sure it should be power.

That port on the right resembles PS/2. However, it appears to be missing a pin in the lower left. Highly doubtful you will find anything off the shelf to fit that. Your most likely course of action is to contact the manufacturer of the enclosure.

Yeah, i was hoping it wouldn't be a proprietary connector but it seems like it is

Then - custom PS/2 socket of unknown custom purpose. One pin closed, so you can't insert standard PS/2 device and cause any damage.

I can't imagine it being PS/2, its a hard drive enclosure, it wouldn't need a ps/2 port. I have to imagine is a proprietary power connector

Thankfully someone got it, not too tricky to find power bricks with these attached.
