Does the MB326SP-B require all SATA pins for power? (3.3, 5, 12V)
Or can it be powered by a molex -> sata power adapter?
Further, does it use both 5V and 12V for SSD? or can either be neglected? as some SSDs can run purely from 5V.
Thanks!
Hello Heyda
The MB326SP-B does need at least the 5V and 12V line. Molex to SATA power converter cable can be used, as Molex connector does supply the 5V and 12V line. The 5V line is used for the SSD while the 12V line is used for the fan on the unit.
