hello , my psu is generic zebronics 450w - a bad one , but works . my computer when first built by someone had molex to sata splitter powering drives 7200rpm seagates ,i added another barracuda -works well with molded sata power cable but its sata crimpped connector doenst fit well or not able to give enough power to drive . but the molded power sata cable starts and runs the drive well .
same thing happend with laptop drive when i added to desktop -put the psu sata power cable which is crimpped one -they fit well but drive is acting as its not getting enough power -then after multiple tries it powers up , works normal after that for whole day or even a month .
the crimped sata power cable --looks shaky when i move the wires .. is it supposed to be like that ?
anyone have come across these loose sata power cable .how to deal with them ..
i was having idea to buy y splitter sata power cable to add one more drive -they dont come in crimped , they all come in molded at my place - i am scared to get them .
please input some ideas , suggestions, thank you.
tldr -- molded sata power cable powers the drive instantaly but when psu crimped sata power cable doenst power up the drives .somehow the crimped sata power cable after multiple tries starts powering the drive . will sata to sata splitter y cable which have molded end would be good ? thank you
sorry for a big post
