SATA to Molex power adapter

This 20 cm cable converts a 15 pin SATA male connector to a 4 pin Molex female connector so legacy optical drives and 3.5 inch hard disks can draw power from a modern supply. The 18 AWG copper conductors handle the current required by mechanical drives without voltage drop. It is aimed at builders upgrading older storage into newer chassis. ||

Thermals noise and power draw

The passive adapter adds no active components so it generates no heat or noise of its own. Power draw is determined entirely by the attached drive and the host supply. The short 7.87 inch length keeps resistance low and avoids clutter inside tight cases. ||

What the bundled items change

Only the single adapter cable is included; there are no extra brackets, screws or software. Its presence simply lets you reuse existing Molex equipped drives without replacing the power supply or adding a separate Molex cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 15-pin SATA male end and avoid bending the 18AWG wires?

Plug the 15-pin SATA male connector firmly into the power supply SATA port, then attach the 4-pin Molex female to the drive; route the 20cm cable so the 18AWG copper conductors are not sharply bent at either connector.

Will the 18AWG copper conductors or the Molex pins need replacement over time?

The 18AWG copper wires and gold-plated contacts are rated for the adapter's service life; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage occurs to the 15-pin SATA male or 4-pin Molex female ends.

At what point does the 20cm length limit drive placement in a 3.5-inch bay?

The 20cm cable reaches drives mounted within roughly 7.87inch of the power supply SATA port; longer runs need an additional extension.
