    You are an outstanding teacher! I love it that I have to pause it every once in a while to catch up--that is rare. Usually when I try to learn stuff on UA-cam I have to fast forward to find the ten percent or so of the video that is actually educational. You're a breath of fresh air: you don't waste any time and I bet you've taught more people more efficiently than just about anybody else on UA-cam.
    Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge, and so respectful of your students' time. One a scale of one to five I give you six stars. Thanks again.

    Hello Linus, need help for the safety issue of using MOLEX 4PIN to SATA power connecter............I bought a computer with an outside PSU brick so if I want to get one more SSD into the system I need to use an adapter to utilize the on-board 4 PIN molex to supply power to the SSD. However, I heard that the molex 4pin to SATA cable catches fire frequently (please kindly google "SATA connector burn", all of them are this kind of adapter cables, which has only 4 wires instead of 5)..............can I get some professional opinion from you guys about this 4pin to sata adapter? Silverstone is still selling it, does is mean it's still reliable?

    I have a major issue and I am in search of ideas to solve it. I have connected a red Sata Cable to the Sata 1 connector on the motherboard but found it to be to short for use. I tried to pull out the cable but the plastic clip is not working and is not allowing the two small locking tabs to free themselves from the holes to allow the freedom of the cable to be pulled out. I have tried poking at them with several different items and even tried to use needle nose pliers to attempt to squeeze the tab in far enough to disengage the locks. All have failed me.
    Any suggestions from anyone??? I follow Linus avidly on your tube so fire away at resolutions here.

  • @justrosy5
    @justrosy5 3 роки тому

    Thank you! I'm still confused about the SATA cabling for my DVD drive. It came with only the data cable, but not the power cable. Will the power cable come with the power supply (not yet purchased)? Or will I have to purchase the SATA power cable separately, and if so, does that also plug into the motherboard to draw power through that from the power supply, or does it connect directly to the power supply? It's been over 20 years since I did a build, and was used to the "Master/Slave" IDE cables. Since that's gone, now I have to learn a lot of stuff "over-again-for-the-first-time." Help?

    Im confused af. Im about to get an SSD, and i want to connect it to my SATA 3 Port Gb/s. Do i specifically need a a Sata 3 cable that supports 6Gb/s? Or can i just take a normal cable?

    • @dannyk6550
      @dannyk6550 6 років тому

      A "SATA 3 Port" is 6Gb/s.....A "SATA 3Gb/s Port" is a SATA 2 Port. But the cables are cheap and backwards compatible (meaning a SATA 3 cable will work with a SATA 2 or SATA 1 device) so just snag a SATA 3 (6Gb/s) cable or two.
      And check where you'll hook it up to see if straight-angle or right-angle is best!

    so i can connect multiple IDES to one esata? i was wanting to build a tower or box that holds 10 IDE hard drives with its own power supply which allows you to connect them to a PC via esata. because motherboards these days either dont support IDEs at all or only have 2 IDE ports at most.

  • @stevoofd
    @stevoofd 4 роки тому

    This was so helpful, thank you! I’m going to hunt down a nice 2TB hard drive to connect to my motherboard.
    I have one question though, atm I have 2 hard drives and 1 optical drive connected to 3 of the four SATA connectors coming out of the motherboard. (Sata2_0 - sata2_3). I have however only one set of cables running from the Powerbox to the hard drives with only 2 sata connectors to supply power, but I would like to install 3 hard drives at once, does that mean I need a new powerbox? I also have a sata connector in the cable set running from the powerbox to the optical drives, but if I disconnect that one I lose my optical drive.
    Thanks for the help!
