I have an old machine i built in 2016 that I am currently setting up as a NAS to live remotely at a family cabin. It'll essentially run some home assistant automation and collect surveillance video. I've been a big proponent of nvme drives and i dont think i have bought a new magnetic disk since somewhere around 2012. I was thinking about throwing a huge 24TB one in this machine to collect all the video. But, i got a bit gunshy as I saw in the reviews that the power standard for modern sata disks has changed a bit and some folks are having trouble getting modern disks to spin up using older sata power cables. My decade old power supply cables might not drive a modern sata HDD? This machine has a corsair cs650m in it. Is that going to work? Would i need a new cable? New power supply? Seems insane to change the function of an existing power cable standard.
