Just had a server go down. Guess what's to blame? Molex can eat a bag of dicks.

How's your Monday going?

This is probably the 4th or 5th time I've encountered a melted molex-to-SATA power y-splitter.
@atoponce I read somewhere it's generally a bad idea to use such adapters. Better to use sata to sata Y splitter. I don't know the reasons though

@atoponce about as well

ASR9000 decided to crater, but only *after* I tried rolling back a null route I was testing. And when I reloaded, it didn't come back.

I had to get someone out there to physically turn it off and then back on again. And that worked, but not before they did same to the WORKING part of the pair. :o(

@atoponce Feels so good when the least expensive component causes the most expensive damage.
