Hello, I'm working with a Lenovo Thinkcentre m82 sff 3306 and looking to upgrade its storage. I'm considering adding an SSD and replacing the old hard drive. I'm unsure if the connectors on the motherboard are compatible with the new SSD. I have two cables for SATA power coming from the PS-4241-02 power supply, but my current PSU doesn't provide direct SATA power. Should I use these cables with a Samsung SSD or move everything to another PC that has the FSP300-60EP(1) power supply, which offers direct SATA power?

The cable used for the HDD will also function with a 2.5" SATA SSD. Identical connection.

You're right to question this. The compatibility of 12V wires with a 5V SSD depends on the specific Lenovo PC model and its power requirements. It's important to confirm the voltage specifications for your particular device.
