I have a Jonsbo N2 case, the backplane is powered by two molex connectors, powering 5 SATA HDDs.

I have bought some 12TB Exos drives, yet to be delivered, but they are PWDIS enabled.

Does anyone know if they will work plug and play in this chassis, or if I need to pop pin 3 / kapton tape the exos drives?

I figure since molex doesn't supply 3.3v and the backplate is molex powered (with minimal capacitors/circuitry) that it might not convert and pass 3.3v through to SATA from the backplane anyway, meaning I don't need to worry about it.

Edit: why the downvote?
