    Can I connect an SSD 120Gb OS to a USB port?


    Can I take my SSD 120Gb OS with me & plug into another PC via a USB cable & port same as one would use a flash drive?

    Hi AaLF!

    For this you will need a SATA to USB cable, or an USB to SATA Adapter for SSD, to which on the one end you connect the SSD (SATA) and on the other end a USB cable, which goes to the PC.

    Without such a cable or device you can't connect the SSD externally.

    For safety, I would suggest that you first back up your data.

    Hope this helps! :)

    Win7 OS has been installed on that SSD? Win7 isn't portable... you need system specific drivers! Also it's not bootable from USB (can be fixed by regsitry hacks).
