upgrading to W7 / USB3 Q's ? :-)
Hi all,
Have to soon upgrade Aunt's system box from XP Home edition to W7 Home Premium, ....so before / whilst at it, I'll pop in a pcie x1 USB 3 card, and a Seagate 1TB Expansion Desktop Hard Drive, ....to pump up data transfer speeds whilst running (W7's) Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, and later use for boot drive backups etc. If I get a StarTech USB3 pcie x1 card with a SATA power connector on it, (or a Dynamode brand that has a molex power connector on it), ....and get the above mentioned Seagate external hard-disk which is supplied with a power supply, ....and NOT connect a SATA or MOLEX pwr supply to the x1 pcie USB3 card, ....will the external Seagate hd / USB3 lead try to suck out more current that the pcie x1 USB3 card can supply, ....because I have not connected extra pwr supply to SATA or MOlex connector on USB 3.0 card ? best regards, ...and a Happy New Year to all, Richard |
