On a notebook drive is Pin #1 towards the power connector (as I would expect) or is it away from the power connector.

Should be as normal. The quickest way to confirm it, of course, is to plug it in and see if BIOS sees the drive. If it doesn't and can see it when the connector is reversed, then you have it successfully worked out!
:D
