External HDD to USB

Arrived today refurbished Seagate 500GB SATA III for $14.50

Blank drive no partition so hung it off the workshop PC.

Partitioned and format OK so that's a good start LOL

See end of post for details.

I'm using a USB 3.0 to SATA External Converter Adapter Cable, see end of post for details.

This workshop PC is a i7/8GB with only SATA 2 but that's fine for testing.

When I plugged in the USB cable I heard a plonk as Windows recognized the drive - all good.

Let's go inside and connect it to the Lenovo AIO desktop.

Back inside and connecteing to the Lenovo.

Once again I hared the plonk.

Oops... rename that.

OK all done.

That's going to be very handy for externally testing and setting up internal hard drives plus other stuff.

Cheers
