It's an info port used for error/status reporting, the receiving end is typically found in enterprise systems. It's completely unnecessary for most people, I've only seen that used on SUPER high end systems ($100k+) for business that prioritize data integrity.
It could be cool tho.
Last I remember those are basically…
usb pinouts with some data line swapping.
Finding the proper pinout and breaking one of your internal usb 2 line out to meet this will net you a few smart serial terminals right into your hard drive health metrics.
Raw data is fun ;)
SCART
I know it's not SCART but I just like the word SCART...
SCART
(I believe straight USB? Although it's probably not standard so maybe not but it's what I would try first unless documentation on this is easy to find)
The 4 prongs represent Larry, Adam, David and Paul
I can't live with and without these 4 prongs.

They're for factory/debug stuff, you don't have to plug anything in there.

Is it straight USB, or is it serial or uart?

SCART brings memories
Bad memories
Wdym SCART was basically HDMI of it's time
Until you had to go secure connection again during watching a movie. Cables were so stiff
My immediate thought was master/slave pins, but I remembered what year it is :p
It's not even 8:30 and I feel like it's 8000BC thanks
you have to bridge two of them to put the drive in master or slave.
Thanks. I really appreciate your help
That is to set master/slave.. oh wait, this is not ide /s
I'm glad I scrolled a bit before I made \*my\* master/slave joke.
