Hi,
I have just had a Sata drive start to smoke and melt the power connection. Will it be safe to connect another Sata drive to the PC or should I have it checked by someone first?

Honestly I would throw it on your desk, plug the computer into a power bar stick a new cable in and turn it on, if it starts to smell like burning plastic turn it off (via power bar as to not danger yourself)
