@Colt Emory i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

Your video is exactly what I was looking for USB to Sata power inside 1U server. Thanks Man!

yes there is no cable exactly like this, we have to make our own custom usb to power sata cable.

For me, it was a PicoPSU powered PC because there you have a 2ft cable with Molex, SATA and Floppy that I don‘t like to have just for a SSD.

Exactly what I was looking for. Now I will make my own custom cable. Thank you

Your video was just what I was looking for motherboard usb to sata for ssd power. Thanks for posting

Thanks man, I have a bit of a horde of old components, wires, and general tech, so I'm constantly trying to find ways to upcycle and create new life for my stuff. Also, cracked me tf up when you were explaining the +/- wires on the USB and just went "ehhhhI don't know what's going on" 😂

Very cool hack making your own custom sata power from USB!!!

really appreciated the video thanks

I love you dude

Thank you

That motherboard usb plug has 2 ports available, it would have been better to join both ports 5v lines together to provide 1amp to the ssd drive instead of 0.5amp from only one port. The reason being that most ssd drives use over 0.5amp when writing data which exceeds the max current from only one usb port. This could result in the drive not getting enough current during large writes and corrupting data on the drive.

@Matthue Gera Don't need to, the SSD drive works fine with 0.5amp

@@DIYGEEKTEXAS still I wouldn‘t risk it unless there only is something stored that isn‘t important. At least if I know the port only can provide 2.5W. Most ports can provide 1A however, in this case the wire gauge seems to be low enough to be able to handle 1A. Both ports are connected in parallel so if the cable itself can handle the current, it‘s not a problem. The pins on the 9p header probably are normal 2.54mm ones meaning they can at least handle 2A.

I know im late to video but is it possible to connect 2 seperate parts from sata to usb

This is how USB look like

Very interesting. I'm looking for something like that, but i need to power 3 SSD drives. You think that 1USB connector will be enought?

I have powered 2 ssd drives successfully. Not sure about 3. Pls let me know if you try it. Thanks

You could try checking continuity from USB+ to the 5V rail of the board. If it‘s a dead short, it shouldn‘t be a problem (2.54mm connectors itself are able to handle 2A at least). However the wire gauge on the 9p to USB-A adapter thing must be low enough to be able to handle the current.

can i use mobile adapter for this ? pls reply trying to make portable ssd (normal usb to power sata)

what is a mobile adapter? does your mobile adapter have 9-pin usb header female plug? if it does not, then it probably will not work.

@@rajvanshraisharma2705 ok I see what you are saying, sure it would, as long as you separate and use just the 5v (+) and (-) cables and match it up with the SATA plug.

How can we make 12 volt

For 12V use the YELLOW cable (yellow usually indicates 12V DC power in computers)
