I know it's a somewhat fussy question, but does anyone know if short SATA cables are available? As in my rig the SATA ports are within a few inches of the drives, so I have about 40cm of cable danging around.

I checked the cable section on there and haven't found anything. I know you can't directly link me to anything due to the rules, but if anyone can let me know if they are available (for a decent price) then that would be great.

Thanks all :)
 
Cheers for the info, I had a look on their site but can't seem to find just cables, they seem to just sell enclosures? Prefectly possible that I missed something though.
 
Do what Ive done, put the excess cable behind the motherboard tray

Try turning the HDD around as well. Then run the cable behind the rack and round to the front area. Doubt that makes sense but hopefully you'll get the idea ^

bad idea, the leads will get caught in the fans, and the drives prob wont go in far enough to screw them in.
 
Can you hang HDD's upside down?

I was wondering as my HDD's (2) were getting very warm in the slots next to each other and I have some brackets hanging down underneath the HDD cage but srews would only line up with the holes if I turned it upside down.

It's an old case, no idea who made it tbh.
 
You want a right angled cable to do that with right angled power connectors too. Ive done it in the 900, and theres room. Looks miles better.
