I've just purchased a toshiba P300 internal 2TB sata hard drive.

However I'm getting 6 beeps, what does this mean?

Also there 2 pins rather than 4, couldn't this need a jumper?

enter image description here

Here's a video showing the 6 beeps / noises https://www.dropbox.com/s/safnkf9usqsysqb/Video%2012-08-2017%2C%2007%2030%2002.mov?dl=0

That doesn't sound normal. If the drive doesn't appear in Disk Utility (and you're sure the caddy you're using works), it's probably defective, and should be returned.

Leave the pins alone. They aren't a standard part of the SATA connector -- they may be part of an internal programming or debugging interface.
