    Customers are mixed about the power connector. Some mention that the power and signal SATA cables are supplied that will reach directly to connections from the power.

    Unacceptably cheap materials, shoddy workmanship, and no quality control.
    1 Star
    Unacceptably cheap materials, shoddy workmanship, and no quality control.
    Everything about it was perfect until I later removed it from its bay intending to place it in a different system. Unplugging the bottom LED power connector resulted in not only the plastic receptacle breaking away from the PCB but one of the four pins as well, rendering it incredibly difficult to repair. As if that weren't bad enough, unplugging the top bay's SATA power connector resulted in several small bits of receptacle crumbling away, including most of the the key (meaning that power connectors plugged into it either fall out immediately, or stay barely connected and liable to cause a short later on).As a nice little cherry on top, the return window for this heap of trash has since ended.Do not buy this despite its enticing price tag. It will not last.
