I have 2 SSD’s and want to remove one

[Feasible157]

So I have a 1tb ssd that I can’t get to work and a 240gb ssd that is my boot drive. I want to take out the 1tb ssd and put in a 2tb hdd I got but when I go to remove it, I find out that both my ssds are connected by half of their sata cable (ex: 8 pin connector, back four go to each other). This is really stressing me out because I don’t know what to do here.

I think you're describing one SATA power cable that connects to both of them, because it has multiple heads.

 

unplugging one will not affect the other one at all.

You can just unplug the other drive and it will be fine. Thats just a power splitters.
