bloody SATA connectors (electrical)!
I note you failed to address any of the points I made about SATA power
connectors. Just in case you were having comprehension or apprehension difficulties, I'll restate them for you... If drives with SATA-style power connector are not to be used except in backplane type situations, how come: 1. Why do the drive vendors make no attempt to distinguish between those drives that require SATA type power connectors and those that don't on the retail packaging? 2. Why do modern PC power supplies have SATA type power connectors as a standard feature? 3. Why do major PC vendors ship drives with SATA type power connectors without worrying about putting a backplane in for the drives? Come on you're such smart fellow, entertain us, give us an explanation! -- Nik Simpson |
