    I had the same confusion then later I got to know it was a hard drive connector,
    but you dont need it. but that connector will be essential for jw series.

    It raises several questions, but can I use it for additional ports.

    How many different kinds of motherboards are used in the jw series, for there must surely be a difference between the jh and jw, besides the USB3.

    Have had difficulty finding anything concrete about the jw Series

    I always thought it was a clip holding the 5870M in place.

    Learn something new everyday I suppose ;)
