I realise that this is very likely an old article but the current SATA drives will accept the old four pins power plugs etc. (and the new ones) - a brilliant idea!
Louis : You'll also need new cables. Some SATA drives use different power cables and : all use different signal cables, so you may not be able to use the : traditional 4-pin power connectors. Serial ATA drives require power : connectors with +12, +5, and +3.3 volts. Current 4-pin ATX-type power : supplies provide only drive power connectors with the traditional +12- and : +5-volt signals. This means your PC may need a power supply fitted with SATA : drive power connectors or an adapter. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
