Power conversion for legacy drives

This 15-pin SATA to 4-pin Molex adapter cable lets you power older hard drives, optical drives and other peripherals from a modern power supply that only provides SATA connectors. The six-inch length keeps cable routing tidy inside the case. It solves the mismatch when your PSU lacks native Molex outputs.

Suits builders with older peripherals

Ideal for anyone adding a legacy drive or device that still requires a Molex power input while using a newer power supply. Not suitable for users who need to convert Molex to SATA or who require additional SATA power ports for multiple drives.

Simple plug-and-play connectivity

The female SATA end plugs directly into the PSU cable while the male Molex end connects to the device, requiring no drivers, software or extra accessories. The short six-inch design reduces clutter and avoids unnecessary cable slack in compact builds.

Questions about this item

Does my power supply need a spare SATA power connector to use this adapter?

Yes, the adapter plugs into a SATA power lead from the supply and provides a Molex plug for the drive.

Will the 6-inch cable reach a Molex device mounted in a lower drive bay?

The 6-inch length works for drives close to the supply; longer runs may need an extension.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering power after I connect it?

The Molex device should spin up or show its activity light when the system is powered on.
