[QUOTE="siraero, post: 1464442, member: 277115"] Hi. I have an iMac 27" mid 2011, with preordret SSD. I have then got an extra SSD and want to installe that. I got a 22pin to 13pin SATA cable. and a 13pin sata to data sata and a power. I have then build the 2 cables together and have split a 13pin sata female to 7pin data and 6 pin power. [IMG]http://blog.macsales.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/owc_imac_2011_drive_connector.jpg[/IMG] So now i have this. - 13pin sata to 13 pin sata - Prime SSD SATA1 - the splitted 13pin i then have 6pin power to power (SATA2) the splitted 7pin data to data SATA0 - the 22pin sata 2. SSD. the normal sata data to data SATA2 - and the 13pin to the DVD/CD. If i disconnect the DVD drive, the 2. SSD is working fine. If i disconnect the 2. SSD, then the DVD is working fine. If i have both drives on the same powercable then the dvd/cd is first in line and the 2. SSD is ofc. 2. in line, then its only the DVD/CD thats working, its almost like the SSD isent got enought power. What can i do, where can i get 5Volt power to the SSD, if i cant run 2 drives on the same power line/cable !?? [/QUOTE]
