Re: [BLUG] Black molex power connector

Mark,

I just bought a couple of new power supplies at Fry's to replace a
couple that burned out on me (ugh, horrid smell...still raises the
hairs on the back of my neck.), and they came with black molex
connectors. I didn't give it a second thought, plugged all my drives
in and they work.

Does it have squeezable bits on the sides for unlatching it from the drives?

I think they're just a sorely overdue update to the standard molex
plug design. I don't *believe* they signify anything special re: the
power supplied by them. None of my hard or optical drives have
exploded, anyhow...yet. ;-)
