February 21, 20206 yr This is my setup ----------------------------- Asus Rog Strix B450 F Gaming MB Ryzen 5 2600X Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB 2048 Bit Graphics card 32GB (2x16) Corsar 3200MHZ RAM 4 4TB WD Red Drives (1 running as parity) 1 Crucial 500GB NVME drive 1 8Port 6GB Sata PCIE card (My 4 4TB drives are plugged into this) Linked for reference https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MSCX5QY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Corsair CX Series 650 Watt Power supply Now when I try to add another SSD the CPU fans spins for a second and then stops. Then I need to flip the power switch or unplug and plug back in to get it working. This is the second SSD I tried to add. Things to note: I am plugging this one directly into the Motherboad and not using the SATA card. I used all of the plugs on one cable and do not have a second one. I am trying sata 1 on the motherboard but have tried other slots. I also tried a different sata cable but still same result. The SSD is a 1tb Samsung 860 EVO. Appreciate the advice. Thanks in advance
February 22, 20206 yr Sounds like a power issue. Like a shorted cable or bad connector, not that the PSU doesn't have enough power. Describe or attach a photo of how your power is distributed to all your devices.

Describe or attach a photo of how your power is distributed to all your devices. I am not sure I understand the question. The Power supply gives power to the mobo, the heat sink, graphics card, and hdds, besides the nvme drive thats plugged directly into the mobo. I hope this doesnt sound like I'm being snarky. I may just not understand what you are asking.
February 22, 20206 yr I'm asking about the physical connections to the drives. How many discrete sets of cable runs from the PSU to how many drives. Any splitters? etc.

Any splitters? etc. the 4 hdds have one cable. The Mobo has its own cable. Video card has its own cable. And the new SDD I am adding has its own cable as well. Something I forgot to mention. This only happens when I plug both the power plug and the Sata cable to the new drive. If I just have the power cable plugged in and no sata, the PC boots up fine.
