Using an old PC case and power supply as a HDD Enclosure?
- by mexiq
I have 5 HDD and my computer is not handling the situation very well. hehe
There are some towers that I can buy to put 4 of my drives out, but I'm thinking that I could use the power source of a failed computer I have and use it to power the 4 (or at least 3) of the drives. The data cables (SATA) will remain connected to the working computer (so no USB solution).
The problem is that the power source will not work unless it is connected to the failing computer motherboard. Is there any way I could use the power source without plunging it to the old motherboard?
Any "HOW-TO" links may be useful as well.
