Hi all,

I'm considering adding a couple of WD Raptor X SATA disks to my workstation, 
but I'm cautious about the signal connectors. Dabs's Web site says that 
these disks have a "22-position serial ATA plug". As far as I know, the 
standard SATA connector has only 7 pins, so what is this reference to 22? 
Other disks on the same site are also shown as having 22 "positions".

Has there been an update to the standard while I wasn't looking, or will my 
existing SATA cables work with these disks?
