Question 1

Does the current version stocked by Newegg have the SATA power Y cable shown on StarTech's website in addition to the two four pin Molex to SATA power cable?

Accepted Answer

Very good question, after searching the manufacturers site and the other sellers that also carry the StarTech tray-less hot swap SATA 2.5 device I can say that most of the other sellers do not have the SATA Y cable and the information on Newegg also does not show that cable. Still other then the cable the device is exactly the same and you can easily use the two cables that come with the device. I have been using the StarTech device for two years with no issues and I do highly recommend it for anyone who needs to swap out HD on a regular basis, very convenient piece of hardware that should be a common feature on all desktops.
