Re: How To: Internal Drive to Single USB-C

Doubt you will have much luck with that!!! What makes you say that? It seems that Powered SATA to USB adapters are common. Just need to get a USB C to DC barrel plug for the power and it should be good. Why don't you think that would work? Any constructive pointers would be helpful for this build. ...

Re: How To: Internal Drive to Single USB-C

That surprises me that asking what adapter to turn an internal HDD into an external HDD is difficult to answer. I got the "Pre Flashed Pioneer BDR-213/2213 SATA 5.25 SATA with BDR-S13UBK Firmware" from Billy. So, don't worry about the space and the fitting inside with he Mac mini details. ...

Re: Need UHD External Drive with Push Style Tray.

I don't think I am being clear enough. I don't know what drives are Libre drives, right? So I need help finding an external UHD drive that is Libre compatible AND opens up with a tray, not like a laptop to make this Mac mini/iMac computer work but I don't know how to find out what drives work you k...

Re: Need UHD External Drive with Push Style Tray.

Lol, I feel like you're the one needing to slow down and I also answered that already so obviously there's a misunderstanding. Glad we got that out in the open. Starting over, Forget that the bluray drive is going into an iMac because that confuses things. So, I see on the list of Libre compatible d...

Re: Need UHD Drive with Tongue Style Tray.

Thank you, but the old drive has to go to make room for the mini. So, in place of the old drive will go the mini and an external drive. There is room for both, I do know that. But it has to be ant external drive, not an internal drive since those are thicker. There wouldn't be room for both an inter...

Re: Need UHD Drive with Tongue Style Tray.

Can any drive become a Libredrive?

If being a Libredrive is all that I need to rip and if any drive can become one, then I can just find any sliding tray style drive and flash it, right?

In my head, only speficic drives were libre so I had to find one of those and hope it had a sliding tray.

Re: Need UHD Drive with Tongue Style Tray.

Thank you for your kind reply and research, but it will have to be an external UHD drive because I want to out a Mac mini inside the body of the G4 iMac (like this person did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFTQ9OsPQyY) But I wish to go a step ahead and put a functional UHD drive inside that will op...
