Sorry guys, maybe thats a very silly question, but i dont know a lot about hadrware, just the minimum.
I was going to install an SSD, but i realised i didnt had any sata or power cable available.
So i disconected my DVD driver(i barelly use this, only for some programs that need cds to instal)
and used those cables to connect the SSD to the motherboard.
In my configuration i DONT use the SSD as OS(i am a music producer running really heavy orchestral sample libraries, and for my kind of use thats the best configuration)
Its working fine, but something is kinda buggin me out, and i realized maybe this could be a problem.
The power cable thats was connected to the dvd driver comes from the OSHD.
Why is this? The dvd driver was a "slave" to the OS driver?
If thats correct, is it ok to use that same cable in my SSD?
Is my SSD "slaved " to my OS Hd also? Is this a "power" connection(is my SSD draining power from the OSHD???
Again, i am no computer expert, so maybe this seems silly crazy question, but i would like to understand why the power cable used in the dvd driver comes from the OS hd. Why the OS hd have "doubled"(2 of each color) cables?
I have another hd for audio recording, and the power cable in this one is "normal"(only one cable for each color)
The power cable form the OShd its has all double, and the audio hd have only one for each color...
Why is this?
Will my SSD suffer some kind of problem buy using that cable coming from the OShd?
Thanks
