So what your saying is if i have the power cable connected to the same outlet or (same surge protector) then i should be fine? Also whats the worse that can happen if its not grounded (not being able to pull the data or a bricked drive?)
Also what kind of sata card do i pick??
Not the same wall outlet, the same grounded surge protector, I should have made that more clear. A powerstrip is just that, it has no surge protection.
What is the worst that could happen? Well nothing is going to happen unless you lost power or your house was hit by lightning. In any event it wouldn't matter that the two units weren't properly grounded, you would just be SOL.
