The labels of 3.5" SATA HDDs often do say that they need 12VDC as
well, and I see no reason to doubt it. Like IDE drives, the 2.5"
ones seem to all be 5VDC-only. I think you can usually get away
without 3.3V for HDDs, I've never seen one that asked for that
and I've used some drives without the 3.3V power wires connected.
