How to add a 2.5 inch SSD to Medion T80 Mini PC (unknown SATA power port)

syedmx86 — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 19:38:45 GMT

Greetings,

I bought the Medion T80 Mini PC (store page) (specification sheet - de).

I want to add an additional 2.5 inch SSD to the computer but I can't figure out what power connector this is other than the data SATA port.

* Image attached below

The power one has 4 pins and is labelled SATA_PWR1, SATA_PWR2 etc.

Additionally, if anyone knows where I can purchase this connector in Germany, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Thankyou for the reply.

Yes, I came across these posts when searching for the connector and it mentions the power connector as a 5/12 4-pin power connector but I could not find it in the box the mini PC came in.

Would the correct connector for the power be JST with SATA (like this one)? I am a bit worried about picking the wrong one since I read that they can vary (with respect to different pinouts) so I wanted to confirm.

I also want to ask if I can contact medion in any way to send me the correct connector.

I bought a

M.2 SSD PCI Express NVMe adapter (faster than SATA)

The ssd remains cool with the graphene cooling sticker (don't need the aluminum heat sink)

Insert the adapter into the PCIe slot (break away metal plate first). Boot the PC. Partition the SSD. Done!

@QuiLee Hallo, als ik het goed begrijpt geeft u de link van de houder om de SSD vast te maken aan de behuizing van de PC en een SSD die je kan aansluiten op het moederbord. Welke kabel heeft u daarvoor gebruikt?
Ik zag uw review ook op bol. Bent u nog steeds tevreden over deze pc?
