So I have an extra 2.5" HDD I want to put in my laptop to play with Linux, an Acer V3-572PG, inside the optical drive bay. It didn't come with an actual optical drive, just an empty tray to take up the space. I noticed inside of it, though, that it has a slim power adapter used for optical drives. Is there any way I can make this work with a normal SATA power interface?
If it doesn't work, it's not a big loss as VMs are available, however if I can have a physical system that would be much preferred as I can use it anywhere instead of having to open up the console for my VM server. Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
