Yes, I think there is a special place in hell for the idiot who designed the SATA connectors on the disk. How strange when below you just say they work utterly fine when used as intended. I've given up, and when I build a PC I install a drive housing that occupies 3x5.25" bays and gives me four hot plug SATA bugs. Because of the way this is designed I've not had a single problem with power or drive connectors since doing this. Gee, what a surprise: you are using them as intended. So you're saying, that all the PC solutions out there where the power/data connectors go directly into the drive as opposed to a backplane are not using SATA drives the way they are intended. I did? I said that *you* were using the drives that *you* bought (with backplane type power connectors) as 'intended'. I said nothing about *all* Sata drives. In the other post I specifically said to use drives with regular molex power connector if you are not using them in servers or other systems that use backplane type connectors or cages. If that's the case, So obviously not. then perhaps you could provide a cite for this claim, since pretty much every commercially available PC with SATA drives are configured with direct connections from the motherboard to the drives with no intervening backplane. Please try and work on your read apprehension. First, if you want get all superior, you might want to look up "apprehension" and "comprehension" in a dictionary! Nik, |
Please don't wind Folknutter up.
Laughter is most definitely the best medicine, and his posts crease me
up no end.
I love them! The most hilarious poster on usenet, as far as I'm
concerned!
Read them, learn to live with them, realise the desperation in them, lay
back and laugh!
*Please* don't spoil my fun by chasing him away - he's precious.

Sounds to me that the use of 'reading apprehension' was totally appropriate, Nikki.

Hehe. No chance of that. The only thing I really admire in Folkert is his persistence. Truely amazing. |
Have you been gazing in that mirror again? I told you to stop that.
