re: SATA HDD Issues - Seagate Barracuda 2 TB

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.
