520HX - Lack of SATA connectors?

Konnetikut · Post by **Konnetikut** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 10:34 pm

It seems like the Corsair 520HX and 620HX are dominating on spcr.
I don't need 620W so I thought i would save myself $30 by getting a 520HX.

--but!
there's only 2x2 sata cables. (compared to the 4x2 in the 620HX)

1) Is there a possibility I will need more than 4xsata (now or in the next few years)? <-especially since sata optical drives are getting cheaper

2) If so, is it possible to get some more that I can just plug into the PSU?

Thanks!

I don't think more SATA cables should be a problem.

I also have an HX520W and will have 2 SATA HD and 2 SATA OD.

he means SATA power connectors from the PSU.

You can always get adapters for the regular molex->sata power
