Plug SATA hard drive with power coming from a different PSU
Last response: in Components
Hi guys.
I want to plug the hard drive I use for school in my desktop computer but there's just no plug left from the PSU.
So I took a really old PSU from a really old computer thinking I could just use that source of power. I jumped the 24 pin (green and black) to get the PSU powered on without a motherboard, power sems on (although really low) but when I plug in the SATA to the computer nothing happens (no light, no noise, seems off).
Any ideas?
Here are some pictures to help you help me![:)]( ":)")
