Yesterday I was trying to temporariry add optical drive to ITX case. I don't have any USB drives, so I opened it and took a molex plug, added Sata Power Adapter and Sata cable and turned it on.
I was suprised when drive didn't work, I just thought maybe it was a bad drive so I put it a side and tried with a different one....
I was paying more attention the second time, and I heard a "pop" and some smoke came from the back of the drive.
I smelled burned as well... two optical drives died...
Just a heads up... be careful, when one doesn't work, don't try a second one, until you figure out why first didn't work.
