These drives will go into QuickSilver with PCI Sata Controller for server functions. After I had them installed, I went to hook up the power and discovered that they don't have the "legacy ATA power connectors" (are they called that?).
So, now what do I do. I thought the SATA drives had the same power connectors we all know and love. Maybe some do? Connector adapter?
I did see an adapter here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...-power.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.cablesdirect.com/power/internal.asp&h=492&w=1000&sz=43&tbnid=YNO7a3dwyihn4M:&tbnh=73&tbnw=149&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsata%2Bpower%2Bconnector%26um%3D1&start=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=1
