| + | [* black] To connect the new hard drive, we need to modify some cables. |
| [* black] The hard drive has a standard 15 pin SATA power connection, but the logic board has a 6 pin slim SATA power connection. A cable to connect them doesn't exist (yet), so we're going to make one. | |
| [* black] The two cables you need are: | |
| [* black] 15 pin SATA power to 4 pin Molex power. | |
| [* black] 6 pin SATA power to 4 pin Molex power. | |
| [* icon_note] We tried a Molex adapter to connect the two (male) power cables together. However, the bulky Molex connectors are difficult to fit inside the mini. | |
| [* black] Cut the white Molex connectors off both cables. The excess cable has to fit inside the Mini, so just leave 3-4" on each cable. |
