I purchased a Corsair 550 Modular Power Supply.
On the box, it says X6 Sata (4 sata) and I'm not sure what that (4 sata) means.
I know x6 means you can connect 6 sata drives. Could that mean it's Sata 4? There is no manual I can find.

Also it only has 2 sata cables and each cable has 3 sata connectors which is how they are saying it's x6. So if you had 3 sata drives they would all be sharing the same slot on the power supply, isn't that bad?

Thanks,
Cheryl
