This is to do with the modification of the hot swap drive bay SAS wiring harness.
Some information is available from users Mooner and ptmay but the information is old (2011) and most links are now broken or do not work.The power to the harness seems easy enough to sort with the purchase of a male Molex 43020-0801 from here: http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/43020-0801/?qs=th8CuLdcYnnUcp9LIcG6sw== along with it's associated pins. This can then be wired to the ATX SATA power cabling to provide the 2x supplies needed for the four drives. A modern up-to-date wiring diagram would be helpful if anyone has one.
The main problem seems to be the SAS to SATA conversion. The 2011 links are to a site in the US and I have been unable to get a response via email from this company. Does anyone have information where the parts for converting the Apple SAS connector to a four wire SATA cable are available in the UK or Europe?
I'm sure that there are more like me who want to convert a Mac Pro case and want to retain the original hot-swap bays but who live in Europe and can't get parts.
Any help as to where to obtain the necessary parts would be appreciated.
