[QUOTE="Reya, post: 518, member: 237"] If you are wondering whether you can use a hard disk drive (HDD) cable for a solid state drive (SSD), the answer depends on the type of cable and the type of SSD. There are different kinds of cables that connect HDDs and SSDs to the motherboard, such as SATA, IDE, and M.2. Some SSDs use the same interface as HDDs, such as SATA or IDE, while others use a different interface, such as M.2 or PCIe. Therefore, you need to check the specifications of your SSD and your cable before attempting to use them together. Generally speaking, SATA cables are compatible with both HDDs and SSDs that use the SATA interface. However, you may need to use a different power cable for your SSD, depending on its form factor and power requirements. IDE cables are compatible with both HDDs and SSDs that use the IDE interface, but they are less common and slower than SATA cables. M.2 cables are compatible only with SSDs that use the M.2 interface, and they are usually attached directly to the motherboard without a separate power cable. PCIe cables are compatible only with SSDs that use the PCIe interface, and they are also attached directly to the motherboard without a separate power cable. To summarize, you can use an HDD cable for an SSD if they have the same interface, such as SATA or IDE. However, you may need to use a different power cable for your SSD, depending on its form factor and power requirements. You cannot use an HDD cable for an SSD if they have a different interface, such as M.2 or PCIe. You should always consult the manual of your SSD and your cable before connecting them to avoid any damage or performance issues. [/QUOTE]
