Hi all,
I received a set of sleeved EVGA PSU cables and they're great, thanks EVGA!
 
I have a spot in a new build for a single SATA power connector to be used for a SSD. The two other connectors in the harness are interfering quite a bit with cable management for this particular location of the SSD. My question is, are there any ill effects by removing the two other SATA connectors and then re-pinning the main line to the upper 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 connector positions? Or for a simpler approach, simply cutting off the wires at the split connector?
 
Thanks for any help!

    You can remove the extra SATA power connectors however you want and depending how they're connected to the main cable as long as you end up with the correct SATA Power Pinout when you're done.
