1. Is there a *power* chain of priority amongst the 6 power connections from the 2x 3-connection SATA power cables that are built into my Thermaltake power supply unit (along with all the other power cables), and, NO, the numbers do not seem to be marked on any of the 6 plugs 😀
2. Does it matter in what order along the 2 power cables I put my three hard drives - will I start to lose ze power to other devices also powered by my 650w power supply
3. Does it matter in what order along the 2 power cables blah blah given that obvs one of them contains the boot drive, and what about the sizes and speeds of the hard drives
4. Have I learnt all there is to know about Hard Drives in The Land After IDE, and can I finally finish my documentary series, or even finish reassembling my gaming rig… or is there yet more to uncover? Stay tuned!
5. Thanks in advance, nerds - I've not used this site before and I'm darned impressed by the great community and genuinely helpful answers. Here is a cat I drew for you all: ={^•¥•^}=(,,___,*,)~~~~~
I'm sorry that it's not very good, but in my defence I did make it up with the same brain that has been trying to figure out the answer to the above questions since about twelve hours ago (on squish-all sleep, and with early-onset arthritis, and on many strong but legally-prescribed medications… plus apparently I might be starting menopause, which seems rough for not-yet-39!) and I didn't even cheat and look up 'cat ASCII art' online because I have so much respect for our friendship!
Um… yes. Built-in Thermaltake PSU multi-plug SATA power cables, determining order of power delivery priority, importance of order of multiple HDDs of varying size, speed, and type, and potential brown-outs for other PSU-powered devices?
Wooo! I'm totally on the team captained by that nice person who posted about unicorns frolicking when HDDs finally work. I pray for then. O___O
Okay, I stop the typings now.
