@HackaShaq You should remove that AMD graphics card from the MXM slot. Those draw a good amount of power even at idle. Great to see the adapter works for your mechanical 2.5" drive.
Great suggestion, and I know phrozenpenguin suggested this as well. I'm new to this motherboard and MXM slots, etc. So it took me a sec to figure out how to remove it. (Just remove the two screws that screw into the motherboard and it just pops right out.)
So here's the setup with the AMD graphics card removed. Again, works like a charm, and big thanks again to phrozenpenguin for that adapter suggestion, and to you trs96 for creating this fantastic thread in the first place. Such a great resource. Awesome.
