I need to be more clear of my intentions..... I'm using an internal
Firmtek 1V4 card to connect 4 sata drives inside my MDD powermac....
All I want to do is switch the "stock" molex power connectors with
sata without using an adapter to achieve this? I will not be using the
3.3v connection in this case. Jeff

The "cheapo" adapters only provide a single voltage, which will power
the drive, but won't allow it to operate in lower-power mode, and
doesn't support hot swap. Read the article I put in my post.

Umm... if that were the case, there wouldn't be cheapo adapters??
I'm
looking at the adapters in my hand... Jeff
