    Hard drive converter


    Windows 10 v2004 64bit:I have the hard drive from my old desktop computer and would like to
    transfer some data to my present desktop.I purchased a converter unit and set it up as instructed,
    when I connect to the pc via the usb cable, I get the sound that it`s been connected but nothing
    appears on the screen although the old hard drive is spinning.Does this mean that the old hard drive
    isn`t recognised?

    :)

  2. 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!
