[SOLVED] HDD caught on fire because of PSU?

[FlashKany13]

When I was reassembling my case, I connected sata power to a red marked connector. So, right after I pushed power button, my HDD caught on fire so I immidiately turned everything off. I've disconnected that drive, but I had another one on the same lane. So, out of two HDD one caught on fire while another one seemed okay. After I put everything back together, second drive refuses to show up in BIOS.

My question is: Help me understand, why that happened. Drive, that caught on fire was an old 2.5 drive, which had problems with vibration. That's why I disassembled the case, did some cable managment AND decided to plug SATA power into RED-6pin slot in my PSU Chieftec APS-1000CB (

). Was that too much power for the drives so it caused such an explosion (

You do realize that the red and black connections on the PSU are keyed differently because they are meant for specific purposes (connectors)? They are not meant to be interchangeable.

1. You plugged something in wrong.
2. Chieftec should not be used. Ever.
3. All of the above.

You put 12 volts where there was suppose to be 5v and 3.3v. So smoke and fire ensued.

Yes rhe red are PCI-E devices which are for graphics cards. The black connectors are for hdd, dvd, drives. You really to not need 1000 watts either thats way more than most desktops need I recomend corsair power supplies.
