  1. Can software tell me which SATA connector is used for a certain drive?


    I'm looking to find out which one of my internal drives is attached to SATA6G_2 connector without having to open the tower for inspection.

    Is there any software capable of providing me with this information?

    :)

  2. Sata Connector for SSD Question (Further Details Inside)

    I had this question rolling around in my cranium ever since I saw a listing on ebay for non-working SSD's that had their SATA connectors trashed. I don't know if those connectors are proprietary enough, but is it possible that I can take a sata connector from either a same type/version ssd (lets say for example a connector from an 860 QVO SSD of any capacity that has a perfect non broken SATA part, pins and all) and replace a broken one from either the same SSD type/name or from a higher tier 2.5" SSD of a different type/name/brand

    OR could I take the sata connectors from desktop/laptop HDD/SSHD drives instead and splice them onto SSD's/HDD's/SSHD's with broken connectors. Or are the SATA parts made in a way that my idea can never happen without problems

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
