    I find it pointless because when are you ever NOT going to use the ATX connector?

    I'm powering a separate back-up rig of hard drives from a separate psu, that get plugged directly into my sata card on my server once a month when I backup the data. Then I move the backup drives off site. Ie: there's no cpu/mobo for the backup rig, so I don't need an atx cable.

    That said, I'd only need a 300w with modular cables for that. And I'm only using two psu's as I dont think my main psu can handle all those drives as well as the server on its own.

    Let's say it's possible... but unlikely!

    I'd also love to be able to remove the 6 pin and 8 pin's off my current server psu, as it's not using a gfx card that needs them. The server of course needs an atx cable.

    This post may not have been clear but gotta get back to work

    If you are using multiple PSUs.

    How are you going to get the PSU to start then?

    Short the wires right on the modular connection (or use a special plug). Saves the space by not having to do it on the cable.
