Hi everyone,
MSI P650p ms is ready! Pure Power 12 M 850W ATX 3.1 power supply, paired with a couple of WD SSD drives and the NZXT 7 Flow (2022) case. The SATA cables are standard ribbons, but since the SSD drives are installed flush on the back of the case, it’s not possible to connect a ribbon cable. An in-line connector would seem like the best solution.
This is my first build in about 18 years—previously I used an i3570 with HDDs in front, so things have changed a lot.
TIA
You'd need to attach one of the SATA cables with a connector in the middle, securing the in and out connections flat for the drive. This might be difficult but could work. Alternatively, a very short extension cable with an inline and flat drive end would be suitable.
Will do it tomorrow
DWD999: Got it, it's a bit messy. Thought about trimming the extra parts. There are 4 or 5 power connectors, just need one.
BFG9000: Thanks for the photo. Really useful.
the really short extension suggested by dwd999 would help as your PSU has only one straight connector, so one should be sufficient as your case only has two 2.5" SSD bays like that. Here's an 8" model
Thanks, that'll do. Amazon?
Actually, in addition to the 2 side mounted SSDs there is also a drive cage in the bottom front for x1-2 more Sata drivez
