SATA splitters are known to do that. it *could* happen with a molex but they are a different and much older beast used in the original IBM PC - and before. I am actualy using a sata splitter in my recent posted build - but for boot drives, 120GB, not much happens on them so I'm not worried on my end since its a really low draw on the boot disks.I have 3x... 750w I believe in this system.
My biggest concern, honestly, is the adaptor melting or causing a fire. I almost want to go and get a single CPU board and lower my requirements just because of that.
I put the X10SRL in a previous post... I think its a fantastic and flexible board. I use that in my VM storage server running TNC , CSE-216 with hybrid bvackplane with an e5-2620v4, 4x16GB PC4-2400T, melly dual 40Gbe, 9400-16i, 9300-8i (only 4 ports used), 13x HUSMM161620x's, (mainline storage) 2 x optane 280 GB 900p u.2 (SLOG), 2 x optane 905pm 960GB u.2 (fast storage).
it has a pretty light load - 12 vm's up right now.
yeah I am about a month away from putting another cse-836 up for sale. I've convinced myself I have too many so I'm pairing down! (from 5! )Edit: or another chassis. Like a nice supermicro. I could be down with that.
