Well - its a special connector but its also a standard! SCA hot pluggable 80 pin is the standard across the board for all drives connecting to RAID backplanes. Its a one piece connection that provides connection to the SCSI bus, a SCSI ID and provides power. Regardless of hard drive manufacturer, the interface is the same.
