I suppose there could be incompatibilities, but if there were, I think your drives would have died right away instead of working for some time. I'd actually be rather shocked (pun intended) if the PSU ends were identical but wired differently; that said, I'd trust, but verify. Since Fry's apparently tried your cable on their PSU, my money is on the cable going bad.

I think the issue is that I had 1 compatible cable and 1 Corsair cable... and to this point, I had been lucky in that all of my SSD's were on thecompatible one. I plugged in bad Corsair cable to install my old 2 TB and thought hte drive was dead so left things where they were.
Ordered a 4 TB drive to replace 2 TB, and decided to unhook all of my SSD's (power and data) so that I could be nice, neat and tidy installing everything.
Tested them all on the bad cable and killed everything. One for some reason surivved.
Expensive lesson learned: Only use the power cables that come with your PSU. Same pins didn't mean shite in this situation. At very least, stay within your PSU's manufacturer for new cables.
