Where the fuck do i plug this in and what does it do? I plugged

That pic is way too unclear for anyone to help. Looks like a cd drive but fuck knows

That's a slim optical drive. I'd say it was for a laptop, but the molex connector suggests otherwise. What you're holding there is just the power; you'll need to connect the data pins as well for it to work.

Yea its a cd drive. The connecter im showing has two prongs by the way.

yes, that's a molex power connector. There will probably be a sata connector to the left of where that connects to the drive; you'll need to plug that in to use it.

Yes youre right its a slim cd drive out of a laptop that i bought a cord to connect to my desktop.

Where do i plug the power into?

>>34604
Okay yea my bad about the timing and shit. I already plugged in the sata connector but the thing doesnt work still.

My motherboard is the msi z97 gd65 btw

The molex connector doesn't plug into your motherboard; it plugs into your PSU. You may or may not have the correct connector on said PSU; if it's modular, you likely do, but if it just has a pigtail you may well not have the relevant cable. Can you take a picture of it?

Ah i see, hold up ive got other modular connectors in the psu box so lemme go check

Okay is this one thatll work

Yep, one of the two linear 4pin connectors will work. They're keyed, so you can't get it backwards; just hook that to the connector in the OP, sata to motherboard, and you're good to go.

Alright thanks man it works. Youre the best
