Power for two SATA drives

This adapter converts a single 4 Pin Molex connector into two 15 Pin SATA power sockets, letting you run a pair of SATA hard drives, SSDs or optical drives from one power supply lead. The pack contains two identical Y cables, each 8 inch long and built with 18 AWG oxygen free copper conductors inside a flexible PVC jacket.

Builders with spare Molex ports

Ideal for anyone adding extra storage to an older chassis that still has free Molex outputs but lacks enough native SATA power plugs. Not suited for systems that only provide SATA power headers or for installations where the 8 inch reach cannot span the distance between the power supply and the drive bays.

8 inch cable length decides fit

The fixed 8 inch (20 cm) lead determines whether the splitter can bridge the gap from your Molex connector to both drive positions; measure the routing path before purchase to confirm the length is adequate for your case layout.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 AWG cable get warm or draw extra power when two SATA drives run all day?

The 18 AWG copper conductors are sized for the current two SATA devices draw, so the adapter runs cool and adds no measurable heat or power loss.

What connector must my power supply already have for this Y-cable to plug in?

Your power supply needs a free 4 pin Molex (LP4) male connector; the splitter plugs directly into it.

Will the 15 pin SATA plugs fit the older SATA hard drives and SSDs I already own?

Yes, the dual 15 pin female connectors are the standard SATA power interface used by HDDs, SSDs and optical drives.
