  • Mmm, sure but it can be a bitch to get booting again if you don’t know what you’re doing and sometimes when you do. Lol

    I’d do it with gparted and if you’re using uefi then you need to grab that partition too and that’s where may run into a problem that requires you to know how to work with on your particular system bios.

    Typical cloning tools will just wipe what’s there, gparted let’s you copy individual partitions and paste them on another disk. Not a lot of people know that. :)

    Available on just about every Linux iso, can easily be installed if it isn’t, and has its own iso of you need something dedicated.









  • crimped or molded, doesn’t really matter. it’s only a problem when the conductors in the molded plastic get hot enough to drift till they make contact. if you’re mindful of your currents, it’s fine. molded simply provides a little channel for heat to escape.

    you’re not gonna get 3.3v from a molex connection for this. that’s only available on the mobo connector and sata cables directly from the psu.

    the 3.3v fix involves taping off those pins on the hard drive so this fix isn’t really necessary. I’ve yet to find a sata drive that requires 3.3v.

    so yes, it’s safe. just don’t go crazy with daisy chains and trying to draw too much power off one molex or sata power connection.
