r4 ssd issue

[moustacheman]

so im in the process of building my new pc and ive hit a bit of a snag and i was wondering if anyone could help. ive mounted my ssd on the back of the motherboard tray in my r4 however i cant find any way to connect the sata power to it, there is no way it it will be able to fit as the wires on the sata power cables are pushed up again the mb tray meaning the connectors cant line up. is there anything i can do without having to take my motherboard out. 

 

thanks

You'll have to get a flat power sata cable. It's a shame most PSUs come with L sata cables.

 

I would just put it into a hard drive tray. It's too hard to get out from behind the motherboard if you go for a bigger SSD / it dies.

Yeah, but it's just my opinion. For me, it makes it easier to just be able to grab the SSD whenever I need to for whatever reason instead of having to undo the motherboard and get it.

 

You can get this.

Velcro to the rescue! no seriously use velcro on your sdd if you want it to be at the back of the mobo but doesn t want to take out the mobo if you ever want to replace it. it s not like you play football with your r4...
