January 8, 20251 yr I'm trying to find a USB header for my boot drive. I see plenty of 9 pin headers without cables: and 4 pin with cables: but no 4 pin without. Strange! (What prompted this was intermittent boot problems which I traced to my 9-pin header sagging on the 4-pin motherboard connection.)
January 8, 20251 yr Above adapter different was dual port vs single port, actually they are USB 2.0 adapter.
January 8, 20251 yr Author Right - only one of the two ports will work when used with the MB's 4 pin connection. (That's the setup I have now.) But forget the dual port because I only need one. Does anyone sell a 4-pin single-port header with no cable? I've scoured the usual sites, google images - nothing. Worst case I'll mount the cabled version somewhere but it's not as clean.
January 13, 20251 yr I don't think they sell 4-pin without cable because of the weight, the connector would bend and could break. Best solution would be to use the 4-pin with cable, and then use double-sided tape or something to attach it to the side of the case somewhere.
