Does the WD Raptor have to have 1 normal ATX power plug plugged in WITH the SATA power cable. Or is only one suppose to be in?
 
Assuming it's like the other SATA drives I've used, you only plug one in. In fact, plugging both in can cause problems. They're probably electrically connected inside the drive, and if the voltages between the 2 connectors are a little off, you'd have current being fed back into the PSU.
