Modular PSU cables are not interchangeable.

Anyway, when those drives are plugged into that cable, the comp wont turn on, but if I unplug them, or use my other cable, the comp turns on, but the HDD's besides my SSD are fukd. I'm too scared to try my SSD on the potentially fukd cable in a different jack, or the good cable in the potentially fucked jack.

Yes they are I've used different cables in the same psu. A cable is a cable. Fucking idiot audiophiles.

retard

for fucks sake really? The cable has the same shaped jack and everything. I thought people bought aftermarket ones all the time.

No, they're not. Pin layouts are often different between different PSUs. You may have gotten lucky, but it's a dangerous practice that will fuck you eventually.

PEBKAC. You killed your shit.

Aftermarkets are generally customized to the specific model of PSU. You can't just pull cables from one and put them in another, they may be from a different OEM and use a different pinout.
