Peter,

The cable I used was a stock one that came with another drive. It’s no longer than 12″. It depends a bit which drive bays you use as the cable has to have sufficient length when the top of the case hinges up as this lifts the drives away from the connection on the motherboard.

Curious as to what length SATA cable worked for this particular case?

Michael,

The brackets allow you to mount the 3.5″ SATA drives in the front 5.25″ bays on the case. This leaves means you can mount a total of four drives as you still have the other two 3.5″ bays on the left side of the case free.

You could skip this and simply use the 3.5″ bays first.

HI
Maybe I missed it but why did you have to buy the 2 x I-Star 3.5? bracket for 5.25? bay?
