Title: Re: Need an old dvd-r drive Post by: Dutch on 10/10/2011, 06:22 PM yes needs to burn. Im hoping someone in this clan has some old hardware lying around. One will do but he wants two of them, msy doesnt stock and I dont feel like paying good money for outdated hardware.

I asked the little bastard if you could buy 4 pin molex to sata converter and he was all like 'ahhh nooo that cant work' .. He probably thought you meant molex power to SATA data converter hence his response, so I don't think he was a little bastard you just had a failure in communications Title: Re: Need an old dvd-r drive Post by: DonutKing on 11/10/2011, 07:17 AM Some hard drives won't work with a SATA->MOLEX power adapter, since the SATA power connector has a a 3.3V wire which is absent from a MOLEX connector.
Most optical drives don't need this though (many are in fact just IDE drives with a SATA interface converter chip) But yes, MSY is terrible and you shouldn't buy from them. For $30 I don't see why you wouldn't just buy a new one with a warranty. It would probably cost at least $20 for me to mail you one of these rusty old burners I've got sitting around. |
