Corsair HX620W and SSD

[Dr J]

Hi, I purchased a new Samsung 250 gb SSD to install in my desktop, not thinking about voltage requirements. I understand my old Raptors are at 12v, while these new 2.5" SSD's run at 5v. I've looked at the Corsair PSU's manual and in no way can I figure out where to find a 5v supply (although it's listed).

The PSU has this modular arrangement where you choose to use whatever cables you need and plug them into the PSU; there are no voltage labels.

I'm hoping that someone here can help me out.

thanks,

John

Don't understand why you would need to think about voltage requirements, plug in a sata connector and you're done ( there's 5v in there, as well as 3.3 and 12v )

Exactly. Just treat your SSD like another hd and quit overthinking it.

Exactly. Just treat your SSD like another hd and quit overthinking it.

The power requirement of the SSD is going to minuscule compared to a traditional 3.5" 7200RPM HDD.

The SATA connector provides 3.3V, 5V and 12V, so if you can plug it in it will function...

Alright, thank you! I just wanted to be sure, didn't want to fry my new SSD.
