For people that have a bulky 5.25" DVD/Blu-Ray player that connector seen will not work on those drives. A 7 + 6 cable only works on 13 pin drives like laptop drives. For a bulky DVD drive you need a SATA converter adapter. Also, if you purchase a 22 pin HDD to USB cable made for reading internal HDD/SSD's - the PC won't recognize the DVD player. The only valid options are to run 24" to 36" SATA data/power cable(s) from inside the PC to the drive, purchase a $15-30 SATA converter, or purchase an external shell which fluctuate between $40 to $60. Prices may change depending on region, etc.
For external hdd/ssd inter-OS operability (Mac, Windows, Linux), exFAT would be the best option, not NTFS, without installing 3rd-party programs/apps; exFAT can also accommodate files more than 4gb. However, FAT32 (only upto 4gb file size) and NTFS are better if connecting the external drive directly to television sets for watching media. 😊
Every other video just shows how to use hdd caddy inside laptop. they don't even show this connector to camera. Now I know i am looking for a "Slim SATA connector cable". thanks.
I got an old HP DV6580ee laptop. I replaced the DVD with as 12.7mm IDE to SATA caddy containing SSD. The DVD and caddy have the same size with the same IDE interface. The caddy is not detected. What to do now ?
Hello,i have a liteon iHas224 Sata Desktop DVD writer that i want to run it externally .Is usb 2 enough to provide the power that the drive need to work properly or Usb 3 is needed?And if so what cable is suitable for this?Thank you!
Is it possible to take an internal hard drive from my windows 10 PC and place it in an external enclosure 'WITHOUT FORMATTING' the drive before use? I have a 10tb internal HD which I have half filled and I really need to move it to an external enclosure without losing my DATA. Is this at all possible without having to backup and formatting the drive? Thanks
TERRIFIC storytelling & info...tanx!! how about a future video about CREATIVE DVD-unit CASES for the repurposed DVDs?!!!! Better than just bare-units, no?

If its only data. Shoulnt be a problem. If it was your main hard drive, it can be a little more complex.
Interesting and helpful. Not sure if I want to spend hundreds of dollars which amount to the price of a new laptop.
it costs 9 dollars bro
Can I use this conversation with pc
It's an MD (mini disc) actually
Hello, do you need to reformat the hdd before using it as an external? can you use it as an external hdd even with a windows OS in it?
Yes doesn’t matter you don’t need to format it, just plug it in

He's probably from a part of the world where it's spelt like that

You have a strong from India accent and speak too fast to be clearly understood. Slow down from 10 to 8.
Yes next few videos, will do it. Thank you for your feedback

@@TodayFreedom That's your opinion, but I strongly disagree. His heavy accent presents a comprehension problem when speaking so fast.
