Build Advice Is it me or...

Is it me, or are SATA power connectors really hard to push on to the plugs on the storage devices, or are they really meant to that tight????

 

They often can be a little tough, just make sure you have it straight on, simple thing I know, which you are probs doing but worth mentioning. Generally I abide by the rule if the cable doesn't want to go on, don't force it! Rather dbl check all is gd first! but sata power cables have always been the exception...

 

Never noticed that they're really tight, but I guess they have to be otherwise they'd probably always fall out lol

 

It varies how far you can push the power connector in, but I havent had any SATA connectors that was difficult to get in place.
Careful so you dont break anything, and get the notch on the right side

 

It should definitely be firm but as all ready said, make sure you're putting it in the right way.

 

Heh, tight...


(sorry)

 

If all else fails, lube that puppy up and have another bash

 

If all else fails, lube it up and stick it in the VGA port (ask your computer nicely first)

 

Heh, reread my post and see what you mean! I pride myself on having a dirty mind and yet totally missed it - am I finally growing up?

 

Remember, if it don't fit, don't force it...

 

Hehe I know, I had to do that do, many words to take the wrong way...
Hard, tight, fit, push... >>

 

You are not the only one!!! Try to read the thread again, it is jokes

 

I always find it's harder to pull out. Always have to wriggle it.

 

Personally I hate it when it bends the wrong way and you have to twist it upside down. If you have stubby fingers it can be very awkward to manoeuvre into the correct position. Sometimes you just have to give in and flip the mounting.

 

Sounds painful.

Just carrying on the current innuendo of the thread for continuity... ofcourse.

 

This should improve with practise

 

spit on it if its dry.
