Hello All
I have a 2008 Mac Pro with a spare IDE optical slot.
My queries are as follows:
What I wanted to do was to get a 5.25" to dual 2.5" adaptor (LINK) and run two SSD's, one for the operating system and one as a scratch drive/plugins drive. The Mac Pro has two spare SATA ports, so thats not a problem. I have seen you can buy Molex to Dual SATA power cables.
Would it be safe for me to run two SSD's off the one molex power cable?
Secondly, would it be suitable to run the main boot drive from those secondary SATA ports, or should I only run the boot drive from one of the main HDD sleds?
Thanks in advance!
