Go to Solutionhard drive connector cable
My system is an xps m1730. Does anyone know the correct name of this component and where to get one? Its the internal connection between the hard drives and the board, secured by a plastic clip on one end, with two plugs on the other. The drives are Serial-ATA.

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:
Boy - are you in luck... for a couple of reasons!
I'd already submitted this reply, with just the following link to someone selling the part you need onEbay.
But the seller also mentions the specific part number for it (YT963), so after I'd submitted the reply, I decided to try looking for the part in the 'Accessories' section of the Dell USA website.
Even if they had it though, I was fully expecting them to be asking in the order of $35 - $40 for it?
But can you believe this; They have a single 'refurbished' cable unit - for just $1.99 :emotion-3:
Yes... that's not a misprint... just $1.99 :emotion-3: :emotion-3:
Now how lucky was/is that!!!
I'd get in there quick if I were you though, in case there's another XPS M1730 owner looking for the same thing :emotion-2:
What's happened to yours btw? Have you broken the connector or something?
