SMUGDESK 4 Pin Molex to Dual SATA Power Splitter Cord

SKU CH-THKY-ZZ8S2

Converts one Molex port into two SATA power outputs for 2.5 and 3.5 drives with locking connectors and flexible insulation

  • Converts one Molex port into two SATA power outputs for extra drives
  • Powers 2.5 SSDs and 3.5 hard drives plus SATA optical drives from a single connector
  • Locking SATA terminals prevent accidental disconnection caused by case vibration
  • Flexible insulated cable body enables tidy internal routing during builds and upgrades
  • Plug-and-play installation adds SATA power to older PSUs without adapters or tools

One Molex to Two SATA Power

This splitter cable converts a single 4-pin Molex IDE connector on a power supply into two independent SATA female power ports. It enables power delivery to a pair of SATA storage devices or optical drives when the PSU lacks enough native SATA connectors. The moulded connectors feature a locking design that resists accidental disconnection inside the chassis. Flexible insulation allows tidy routing during assembly or upgrades.

Builders Expanding SATA Power

The cable suits PC builders adding extra hard drives or SSDs to a system whose power supply has spare Molex ports but insufficient SATA outputs. It also fits retrofits of older PSUs that predate widespread SATA power adoption. Users whose PSUs already provide enough native SATA connectors, or who need to power devices requiring a different connector standard, will not benefit from this adapter.

Dual Device Headroom

The splitter comfortably handles two SATA devices simultaneously, such as 2.5 SSDs, 3.5 mechanical hard drives or SATA optical drives. Stable power delivery is maintained through the conductive wiring during extended operation. The single Molex source limits total available current, so the splitter cannot support additional devices beyond the two SATA ports provided.

Questions about this item

What power connector must my PSU have to use this Molex-to-SATA splitter?

Your power supply needs a free 4-pin Molex (IDE) male connector to plug the splitter into.

Can I keep using an older PSU that only has Molex outputs with this cable?

Yes, it converts a single Molex port into two SATA power ports so older PSUs can run modern SATA drives.

How do I confirm the splitter is delivering power to both drives after installation?

Both connected 2.5 SSDs or 3.5 hard drives should spin up and be recognised by the BIOS or operating system.
