I prefer the ones with a latch, but that's still no guarantee. If they're not held *firmly* flush in the socket (as opposed to a latch that merely stops them falling out), they can still make a bad connection. Plastic SATA connections (data and power) look like some of the worst engineered products to me. They don't look robust, they do easily break (losing the locating lip that stops you plugging them in upside down), etc. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
