Installing SSD question

[Craig234]

I'm trying to install a SATA SSD to an NZXT Phantom 530.

There's a little 'discreet slot' under the motherboard which is great, except:

Guessing which power supply (Seasonics M12II) cable to use looks like the only one has a 90 degree connector to the SSD.

And the way it connects, prevents mounting the SSD - the connector is on the wrong side, blocked by the case. Any ideas? I'll post a pic if needed.

Only one power cable will fit it

I'm not sure what you're saying. I found only one that seems to fit and has that 90 degree connecter preventing mounting.

You should post that pic.

That's the SSD mounting bracket, with the SSD mounted underneath it and the cables plugged in.

It needs to be mounted flat against the case - you see how that 90 degree cable connector won't allow that.

I would just mount that in another part of the case that would accommodate the cable. The SSD doesn't HAVE to be installed in that one spot, it can go anywhere you want it to.

Also, you don't have a normal flat SATA power connector available?

I'll review the cables included with the PS again but it seemed to only include two with the 90 degree connector. It seems odd it just happens to have to be mounted the wrong direction.

Get sata power cable extender.

Seems like the only option to mount it there - thanks.
