So, long story short, I bought myself a new 250 GB SSD, a Teamgroup T-Force Delta SSD (I didn't buy the SSD from that exact seller, but I bought exactly the same model). I didn't have any plans to buy any SSD, but I saw a good deal on my local store and jumped the gun. Unwise, I know, but that's not the main problem.
The thing is, that SSD has an addressable RGB light. But, it uses a 5V 3-pin RGB connector. I only have the 'standard' 12V 4-pin connector here. Is there any (easy) way I can connect the SSD's RGB? Maybe an adapter or something? I haven't connected it yet because I'm afraid something bad will happen (I know nothing about electricity, but connecting a 5V device to a 12V connector doesn't sound right, I might blow something up). I don't care about addressable lights, I just want the SSD to light up.
I understand the blame is on me because I didn't do enough research before buying, but well, I wonder if there's a way to get around this problem. If all doesn't go well, I'd probably simply return the SSD.
