I have a tower without a 5.25 slot. That’s fine, But as a htpc, it’d be nice to scrap the bluray player backup if possible. I have a drive from the old tower. And I bought a sata to usb adapter. It converts to a usb2 for power and a second port that’s 3.0 for data and I’d suspect auxiliary power.
Problem is, windows beeps when plugging in and the drive has power, but windows never actually sees the drive.
Before I just assume it’s a bad adapter, is there something I’m missing? It was a cheap ebay cable so there’s no documentation. It’s not something I’d use often so I didn’t plan to spend too much on it.
