It's the eSATA cable (one usually goes to the external BlacX drive).

Seeing as how you can install any motherboard into the case, a solid mounted plug might not find the eSATA port on different models, hence having to use the eSATA cable, going back into the BlacX ports.]]>Jun 20th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/20/thermaltake-shoves-sata-hdd-docks-into-v9-blacx-edition-pc-enclo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/20/thermaltake-shoves-sata-hdd-docks-into-v9-blacx-edition-pc-enclo/
Actually, that's a USB3 cable.

Also, IMO, get a windows home server box for power efficient and more practical data centralization, then you only need to fit a single SSD and platter drive in your other rigs.

Then you don't need a tall tower and can still fit VERY powerful GPUs, PSUs, and CPU heatsinks in a shoebox chassis like the Lian Li V352. Nice quite dual 120mms up front, brushed aluminum (love the red), w/ updates like hte mb tray, removable harddrive cage, PSU over expansion slots, and 5.25 bay cages! =)

Engadget shouldn't do it at all if they don't know what they're on about. Looks like they just found this somehwere and said "Cool, built in disk docks, lets do a crappy article about a crappy case".

There should be plenty of internal SATA connections if thats what that is.

To the author, seems like Engadget just doesn't understand that there are people that like desktop rigs. I think the last Engadget article said something like "for those STILL USING desktops", ROFL!

I have similar trays in two of my towers. They work great, with the exception of not handling 2.5" SATA drives.

While trayless bays exist for 2.5" SATA drives, that would be an extra expense, an extra bay, and would take up an extra SATA connector, and not every motherboard has an abundance of these.]]>Jun 21st 2010 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/20/thermaltake-shoves-sata-hdd-docks-into-v9-blacx-edition-pc-enclo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/20/thermaltake-shoves-sata-hdd-docks-into-v9-blacx-edition-pc-enclo/
