I have 2 HDDs that have another connection next to the 2 SATA connections.
They don't work if I just connect a USB to SATA adapter. So I wanted to ask what these ports are called and whether I can buy an adapter for them.

Loading...Good day everybody 🙂 I like to stream on the go and rely on a power station to keep my live stream running. Now I'm not sure whether a Jackery Powerstation 240 (256wh, 300W) is enough to power my laptop (230W) for a few hours, or whether I should go for the larger 500W version…

USB only delivers 5V.
No. Via SATA only comes the data line. …. You have a SATA data line and a SATA power line. Both are separate.
The smaller one is data line, the larger the power supply
jup and this also only USB 3.0/3.1
Yeah, I’m aware that’s both Sata… At the 2.5″ everything worked.
