10 gig or more?

So a nas with tons of storage, high speed nic to a desktop, and a dock to attach the old drives for review. From there, it's just a matter of sorting through files and dumping them on the nas. Personally, I'd do it with a Linux PC to avoid pesky windows permissions.
Time before failure is impossible to predict but these days, they'll last far longer than you'll likely use it for.
Ok. All that is fine. There's no 3.3v wire to worry about. The drive won't miss it.
What is this 6 pin you speak of? Are we talking modular psu or OEM? The only molex I'm concerned about is the one that carries 12v, 5v, and a couple grounds. The only 6pin I'm aware of is normally for a GPU and that only has 3 12v wires and grounds.
Maybe some pictures will help.
crimped or molded, doesn't really matter. it's only a problem when the conductors in the molded plastic get hot enough to drift till they make contact. if you're mindful of your currents, it's fine. molded simply provides a little channel for heat to escape.
you're not gonna get 3.3v from a molex connection for this. that's only available on the mobo connector and sata cables directly from the psu.
the 3.3v fix involves taping off those pins on the hard drive so this fix isn't really necessary. I've yet to find a sata drive that requires 3.3v.
so yes, it's safe. just don't go crazy with daisy chains and trying to draw too much power off one molex or sata power connection.
I go thru the floor but my house is made of wood and drywall.
just a sas controller, everything else works as usual.
