I have recently taken apart some old PCs and found an HDD that uses this cable, but my motherboard doesn’t seem to have a connector. Is there a way to connect this to SATA or PCIE?

edit: hdd, not ssd

    I still remember the “master” and “slave” settings on HDD’s.

    The “master” drive is the primary device, and the “slave” is the secondary. The configuration was set via jumpers on the hard drive or by using a “cable select” cable.

    Having two HDD’s installed in my PC felt like a achievement at the time.
