Hello. I'm installing a Samsung 250 SATA SSD (to use as the boot/operating system drive) in my Dell Inspiron 3668 and am having issue finding a "6-pin SATA power cable". Thus far, I have ordered three (3) different cables described as "6-pin". Each of the cables have a missing pin. They are actually 5-pin cables.
- On the pc's motherboard, the SATA_PWR1 socket has 6 pins. The preinstalled HDD and CD-ROM drive are both connected to it with a power cable containing 6 pins.
- The SATA_PWR2 chocket has 6 pins also
At this juncture, I am wondering if I can use a 5-pin cable without risk of jacking-up something? This is a new endeavor, and I'd welcome feedback and/or suggestions. Thanks, in advance.
