Noob question.
Sorry guys., another noob question.
In the standard molex lead the red wire is 12V and the yellow wire is 5V are the two black wires interchangeable, can I join them together? Thanks in advance.

Along the same lines - does a HDD generally have sufficient current path to its chassis to forgo the ground wires altogether, assuming good electrical contact for both the PSU and HDD with the PC chassis?
Adventurous, I know, but if it can be done for a few hundred amps in a car, I don't see why not for a PC chassis. Would allow wiring up a case with only two wires for power, superneat. And you could use pretty twincore wires for that.
