Removeable rack dilemma

[Horsepower]

I have been using Lian Li RH38 sata racks on my current rig for 2 years. I am building a new rig and decided to use a velociraptor as one of the drives, but the plug configuration is different because this new drive is smaller and on a 5.25 heatsink adapter. The connectors do not line up like my previous raptors and standard sata drives. Anyone run across this before?

So whats the problem? Just use a standard HDD rack and start using cables again. That or mount the VR elswhere.

That's probably my only answer. I just wanted to use some of the 6 assemblies I already have.

Found the problem, the WD3000GLFS is what I have and I need the WD3000HLFS. Like this ..

Yep. The newer "H" series has the SATA and power plugs in the proper, "standard" locations. Good of an excuse as any to buy new hardware! 😀
