Does the red line on the cable go to the inside or outside when connecting a new hard drive to a computer?

The red wire always attaches to pin 1 of both the hard drive and the controller or motherboard.
The red line is usually closer to the power connector. However, older hard drives did not follow this convention. There might not even be a specification for this. To be sure, look closely at the hard drive for a distinguishing mark on one end of the connector, such as a "1" or triangle indicating which end the red line should be.

It's a type of computer cable where some of the strands inside are "crossed over" compared to a "straight through" cable. You only need a crossover cable if you are connecting a computer directly to another computer. If you are connecting a computer to any other device like a switch, or a router, then you use a straight through cable, which are easier to find and cheaper.
