 So I did an unboxing a while back of the Kingston SSD Now V plus 180 This is a 64 gig solid-state drive and one of the things I pointed out was quite special about it Is the fact that it's really small So if we compare it to a normal SSD that is a two and a half inch SSD Well, it's very small and I also noted in my unboxing that it uses a standard that I'm not familiar with for its SATA connection So this is called oh shoot. I totally forget now micro SATA Yes, excellent and I grabbed this cable just so that I could show you guys if you ever need to pull data off a 1.8 inch SATA drive and you want or you wanted to let's say you randomly had a 1.8 inch SATA drive like say for example me and you wanted to be able to test it on a desktop or Or benchmark it or do whatever else he does you need to do you need to get one of these so right here is the Micro SATA interface that is power and data. So I'm gonna go ahead and plug that in Just like that, okay And then what you have to do is you have to take a regular SATA plug off your power supply and plug it into the power So we have now powered up the drive Okay, no notable status change after you power the drive Because it is an SSD and it doesn't make any noise and then finally you need to whoops if it doesn't slip under your test Bench, you need to plug the SATA connector into the motherboard all right, and hopefully oh yeah, that was fast look at that, so we've already got it ready to use and Oh, right. We have to actually All right, I always forget the most efficient way to do this computer manage Dismanagement area I'm fumbling around some tech tip Okay, so we are going to initialize the disk and then we are going to make a new simple volume Assign it to drive letter X for extreme And then we can view the file so it was that simple That's all we had to do I Kind of wish I had some Files to copy to it or something, but we can do that later Anyway, that is what is involved in adapting a micro SATA drive such as the Kingston SSD now V plus 180 to a regular SATA power and data interface Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more tech tips videos about my work and whatever else it is that I upload to this channel
