DO NOT DO THIS!!! You've been warned.
I wanted to temporarily CLONE my SSD hard drive to upgrade it.
I own a SFF lenovo desktop.
The desktop only had one sata power cable accessible to me at the time. Sadly, the CD drive uses a different power cable.
What did I do? I ended up using 2 different pc desktops so that I could power the 2nd SSD hard drive.
NOTE: the better option would be...
1. find the 2nd sata power cable hidden behind all the case metal
2. find a sata power splitter adapter
3. Just use a USB dock to clone the hard drive rather then internally copy the contents. (NOTE samsung magician software was not playing nice with USB Dock).
Yep.. I took 2 computers.. and used the power connector from each computer to power each drive. Although... both ssd drives was only connected to one computer to transfer the data.
