6pin power connector seems redundant. Even with the newest craziest m.2 drives that arent even released (samsung 980 pro) pulling less than 10 watts each and a 2 watt fan, you can safely pull all that juice from the pci-e socket. Hope you can run this without the power connector. Absolutely not necessary.
