>Most enterprise drives use a pin that's not in a regular PC motherboard so if you plug it in, you won't see it in your BIOS since it's not powered. The solution is to kapton tape (special type of electrical tape) the third pin of the power pins on the drive itself so it forces the PC to recognize and power the drive. Most HDDs ive bought included it.
If you're talking about Power Disable I know at least WD sells both SATA variants with and without that feature. You need to check the SKU ID.
Toshiba on the other hand does not sell that feature on SATA drives at all, only SAS.
