Smeagolized Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Trying to upgrade my HDD to 1TB on a 1.4 soft modded Xbox. The 1TB drive is 2.5" when I clone the drive with chimp should I plug in the molex splitter to power the adapter or can I simply just use he adapter without a y molex splitter. Just tried to clone with chimp without the y molex splitter and said couldn't lock the hdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDShadow Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Both HDDs need separate power when cloning either through a Y-Splitter or external source ie. another Xbox or PC/PSU molex connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't use a Molex power splitter, how are you powering the IDE-to-SATA adapter if a SATA hard drive and/or the hard drive itself?
