We've had moderate success rubber banding the power and SATA cables to
each other. Works pretty well actually, except when the rubber
deteriorates and flies apart.

I've seriously considered using a dab of hot glue. Just haven't been
able to get the hot glue, gun and systems in the same location at the
same time. (If the bond ever has to be broken, a razor blade works well.)
