I bought a Lexar 128 Gb SSD
I have another 2 hard drives for my pc
My power supply have only 2 sata power cables
So i can't install the new SSD as it needs a power cable
Is there any solution or adapter to use the SSD without removing 1 hard disk
 
Solution
I've seen this solution but some people said that it could melt/make a fire
Similar posts are talking about a adapter to provide 6 pin power for a graphics card. That can draw 75w.
If a psu is capable of running two 6 pin connectors of 75w each, it would have included them.
Minor peripherals are what molex connectors are for.
You are looking at <10w for a ssd or hdd.
