Ok guys, I need your expertise here because I want to do it right from the start and not have to go through thousands of pins because I did not sort properly the first time so:
#1 some of the pins from ribbon connectors "seem" to be more gold than others do I keep them separate? ie worth more?




#2 do you keep, keep separate or toss the long pin connectors in the ribbon connector?


#3 do you pull the pins (both gold and silver colored) off the back of the hard drive and put in with pins?


Sorry if I come off a little OCD, just want to make sure I am doing it right the first time. Thanks for your experience.
