Hi all -  I'm building in the Define Nano S and decided to use a Corsair SF450 PSU (to work around the GPU clearance issue).

 

I have a 1tb HDD in the back of the case and I want to put my SSD on display on the case floor, but the PSU only came with one quad SATA power cable. I don't see how I could make that work for both.

 

Do people usually buy single SATA power cables to use with their SSDs that are "on display?"

You could modify the harness to only have one sata power if that's all your need or get something like a sleeved extension so it's the only thing that is seen in the front side of the case.
