Hello everyone, I'm doing some box cleaning and I found a bunch of cables which I'll ask for your help for identification, if you don't mind 🙃

So, as the title says, how do you call this cable?

Thank you!

Most likely, the motor and head circuitry survived. The burnt PCB can probably be cheaply replaced without cracking open the sealed internals of the drive mechanism, and the drive should work as normal after a test and calibration. Of course, wrong polarity will destroy SSDs and most other PC parts beyond the point of repair.
