I am very slowly moving forward with a ZFS box running 5 or 6 drives, but am getting a little confused about how advanced power supplies work.
I was looking at getting something like this:
SeaSonic 550W ATX12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular
It seems to come with 6 SATA power cables, which is fine.
But If I wanted to add a 7th SATA drive is there a type of cable I should buy? Assuming the power supply had enough wattage to support it.
Would I just pick up a cable like this (6-Pin to 5 x SATA). I guess I don't understand if the SeaSonic has a standard or proprietary connector or what.
(I tried looking in the forums and SeaSonic's site, but couldn't find much detail.)
Any help would be great.
