Too lazy to look - but what's the difference other than much higher power?

The Aurum Pros have completely designed internals, so it is basically a different PSU to accommodate for the higher power.

Doesn't matter to me. For what it's worth, it should deliver significantly improved performance

It's a good product. The proprietary plug was the deal breaker for me though.

Newegg, Amazon, and NCIX have them for around $20/ea. There's a few places across the internet that list them for as low as $5-6, but sadly, the traditionally useful Monoprice doesn't carry it.

Yeah, I'll stick with the regular cables, lol. They're a dime each, and sometimes they even hand these out for free at work when the IT department has too many
