At this point this is where I clamped the cable into a vise and pulled out my trusty exactor blade..a little of trimming,it fits. Do the same with a molex to SATA adapter and you have createdan external SATA drive..as long as you have spare SATA connectors on your mother board. The whole reason I came up with this was due to the fact my brother-in-law screwed his and had a crap load of data on it...I had one hanging around but USB was taking way to long with EASUS data recovery,the partition recovery was 39hrs, I did this and it dropped to 12. However one drive is hooked up internally..one Esata with an adapter I happened to have laying around.Plus the drives are connected to my home server computer and are sitting on the edge of the 140mm so they stay cooled...I have to copy the recovery files to the back unit to restore the front...pain in the butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modding wise ..on my system I ordered off of Ebay red led's and resistors and wired up my own lighting..the one I will display is my first ..but is rude looking that is why I never put it in..my later ones are all mounted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
