Hi Everyone,
so a quick question. I ordered a 2.5 ssd for my htpc, but after ordering I realized I had a few questions.
What's the best way to mount these in standard matx cases? Do some cases come with a solution for this? or should I just get a 3.5 adapter?
and, how do I connect a 2.5 hdd? The standard pc data and power connectors probably aren't used right?
I would appreciate any pointers or help.
using a 2.5 ssd for my HTPC, have a question
