Bad Power Supply?

My friend at work just put a brand new Thermaltake PSU in his computer. He got an error on his motherboard, would no longer work. Replaced mobo, upgraded to i7 8700k, redid cable management. When he booted it killed 6.5 TB of HDD's, 4 drives, but didn't hurt his SSD and later pretty much fried the new motherboard. We both have built several machines and work with computers everyday and it just doesn't make sense that a new power supply would do this. Cables should have all been the new ones that came with the PSU. We found that the plastic piece that you plug your cables into the PSU for power came out very easily.  Is there something I'm missing, or does this just seem like a faulty unit?

Sounds like a faulty PSU to me, not much can kill components like a PSU can.
