How is an internal FDD connected to the power supply?

An internal FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) is connected to the power supply via a power cable that typically has a four-pin Molex connector. This connector provides the necessary voltage (usually +5V and +12V) for the FDD to operate. Additionally, the FDD is connected to the motherboard through a data cable, usually a 34-pin ribbon cable, which facilitates data transfer between the drive and the computer system. Proper connection of both the power and data cables is essential for the FDD to function correctly.
