Doesnt really matter as yellow and red wires are the ones only used, ground and black and Im not exactly sure what orange is for..

EDIT:

Mr google says orange is for 3.3v, since harddrive mana it operates under the 12v which is yellow.

Naa daghan sa Fastwin sir...... wala ra na gamit ang isa ana... upat ra jud na siya ang usual... para dili confusing nimo, ang purpose nimo is ang power jud sa imong HD diba? mao nga nangita ka so naa ra daghan baligya ana kay most PSU kay duha ra sila ma need ka converter...

d ko sure which connector ana is old or new. but unless specified sa hdd na it needs 3.3v connection(orange-wire) then its safe to use either connector...
