The rant ends here, and I'm out to get a M.2 SSD so I can use the board properly ( without having to carry around an octopus of cables ), not an entirely welcome expense. You may say, why didn't I preorder the cable? My mind couldn't accomplish the level of imagination of required that the lack of a SATA power port would be a thing. power and long-term reliability you demand from a CORSAIR power supply. It seems that the only way to properly use the board is with M.2 SSD, which is - unless you want to spend a lot of money - a subpar option, especially the 22 versions which are both scarce and more expensive ( in these parts o' town ).Īt the same time, it makes using secondary HDD harder - with the only proper cable being available at UDOO and obscure Chinese websites. CORSAIR RM Series fully modular power supplies deliver consistent 80 PLUS Gold. SATA power cables are often paired with a 4-pin Molex LP4 connector, which.
You should test how much power it draws via PCIe x16 slot with software like GPU-Z. Only use SATA with GPUs that draw less power via PCIe x16 slot. I mean, 2.5 is still the standard and it'd fit snugly under the board next to the M.2 - I realize there may have been technical+cost reasons - and I'm just dreaming here tbh. The SATA power connector has 15 pins and supplies +3.3V DC, +5V DC and +12V DC. Using MOLEX or PCIe power connectors is definitely safer than using SATA power connectors as SATA was not made for higher workloads. What a wonderful world would it be if the UDOO X86 had a standard SATA connector on the bottom, facing inward, and just snapping a 2.5' SSD on the underside, instead of a clunky bunch of random cables in all directions.
