Gotek/3.5" drive B question

Hi,
A beginners question here - are the ribbon cable and power cables for these devices interchangeable?
I have both and switching between them means going to the back and under a computer desk to change power supplies and cables which is a pain in the arse - it would be much easier if I could just use the same cables

Generally, yes.
The only exception might be if your 3.5" drive requires 12V as well as 5V, but that is unlikely to be the case...
Certainly the ribbon cable I sold you will be usable for both.
