I have plugged in drives many times with the signal cable wrong and never
fried them.  One side is all gound and the other side is the signal .  If
you turn the cable upside down all you do is gound the signal wires from the
computer.  Should not harm anything.

Now if the smaller power cable is reversed , a lot of dammage may hapen.
