I couldn't find a thread on this or the answer anywhere else on the internet, so I figured the infinite collective wisdom here might help.
I am building a PC for a friend and he went with the Corsair CX450M, but the single SATA power cable isn't long enough to connect both the SSD's and the HDD's on both sides of the case. I will need another cable. I figured I could just use a spare one for a 750AX I have laying around, but the pin configuration is different, and it appears to be the older Type 3 cable Corsair produced. The SATA power for the CX450M is the newer Type 4.
Now, I saw mentioned elsewhere (http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=821524) that the Type 4 only really makes a difference with the 24-pin, PCIe and EPS12V/ATX12V cables. Is this accurate? Am I safe with using my existing 750AX cables, or purchasing generic Type 3 cables from Corsair?
A follow up question would be: Why would Corsair even include the Type 4 SATA cables if they don't even make a different or cannot be purchased individually?
