00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:09,000
so I did an unboxing a while back of the Kingston SSD now v+ 180 this is a 64 gig

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,360
solid state drive and one of the things I pointed out was quite special about it

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:20,119
is the fact that it's really small so if we compare it to a normal SSD that is a

4
00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:22,880
2 and 1/2 in SSD well it's very small

5
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:28,279
and I also noted in my unboxing that it uses a standard that I'm not familiar

6
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:31,080
with for its SATA connection so this is

7
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:35,360
called oh shoot I totally forgot microa yes excellent and I grabbed this cable

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,600
just so that I could show you guys if you ever need to pull data off a 1.8 in

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:45,239
SATA drive and you want or you wanted to let's say you randomly had a 1.8 in SATA

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,559
drive like say for example me and you wanted to be able to test it on a

11
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:53,120
desktop or or Benchmark it or do whatever else it is you need to do you

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:57,079
need to get one of these so right here is the micro SATA interface that is

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,559
power and data so I'm going to go ahead and plug that

14
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:04,400
in just like that okay and then what you have to do is you

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,320
have to take a regular SATA plug off your power supply and plug it into the

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:14,799
power so we have now powered up the drive okay no notable status change

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,600
after you power the drive uh because it is an SSD and it doesn't make any noise

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:24,560
and then finally you need to oops if it doesn't slip under your test bench you

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,400
need to plug the SATA connector into the motherboard all right and hopefully oh

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:35,560
yeah that was fast look at that so we've already got it ready to use

21
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:39,200
and oh right we have to actually

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,560
uh oh I always forget the most efficient

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,280
way to do this computer manage dis

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:50,880
management there we go here I am fumbling around some tech

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,799
tip okay so we are going to initialize the dis and then we are going to make a

26
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:59,600
new simple volume assign it to drive letter X for extreme

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:10,160
and then we can view the file so it was that

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,760
simple that's all we had to do I kind of

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,319
wish I had some uh files to copy to it or something but we can do that later

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:24,160
anyway that is what is involved in adapting a micro SATA drive such as the

31
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:27,160
Kingston SSD now v+ 180 to a regular

32
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,959
SATA power and data interface don't

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,560
forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more Tech tips videos about my work

00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:36,400
and whatever else it is that I upload to this channel
