Internal HDD to External
    #5452525 - 03/28/06 06:52 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I'm going to make some of my older spare hard drives into external harddrives, so I can just plug them into usb ports.

I'm going to order the ide-to-usb cables. But Does anyone have any idea what I should do about the power?

it would be nice if the drive could draw power via USB, but since the usb goes through the IDE bus, and the IDE bus being a data bus (right?) i can't see that working.

do i need a molex to ac adapter?
