If you mean daisy-chaining Molex, then possibly. Again, you could get a fan controller or something too.Xeogred wrote:Yeah the CPU fan was 4-pins, and the two case fans were 3, though one fit into a 4 slot header. What confused me most was connecting the two case fans to each other, I guess if I get more fans, that's how I'd connect them or something? Break that connection up and combine them? Though there's no more slots on the motherboard I think. That kind of confused me.
It may depend on the drive, but probably not. Some series, WD Green for example, are designed to spin down often.A random thing I wonder/worry about with the fresh settings and all, is sleep mode bad for a multitude of externals? Always really cautious and on edge about that stuff, I wonder if having the externals spin like that off and on is bad in the long run. Previously I just had my other PC put up a screensaver but didn't bother with any power saving sleep stuff, so my external HDD's were just always running unless I shut down completely off and on.
The main downside I've found with having drives spin down a lot is the delay you can wind up getting while the drive spins back up.
SSDs use the same SATA connections that everything else does (well, the SATA based ones anyway). The small four pin power connectors are the type used by floppy drives, or commonly for things that fit in the same kind of space, like card readers. Also the occasional PCIe card, like some sound cards or USB3 cards that need extra power.Also I take it the smaller power/drive connectors are for SSD's?
