Compact SATA Power Adapter

The STARTECH SATAPOWADPL converts a 4 pin Molex LP4 connector into a 15 pin SATA power receptacle. The 6 inch cable is designed for tight drive bays where a straight plug would not fit. It targets builders adding a SATA drive to a power supply that only offers legacy Molex leads.

Suited for legacy PSU upgrades

This adapter suits anyone connecting a Serial ATA hard drive or SSD to an older power supply without native SATA power plugs. The left angle hood eases routing in cramped cases. Buyers whose PSU already provides SATA connectors or who need multiple drive connections from one Molex lead should look at a different solution.

Left angle 15 pin SATA receptacle

The decisive spec is the left angle 15 pin SATA receptacle that mates with the drive in confined spaces. The fixed 6 inch length and single LP4 male connector mean one drive per adapter with no daisy chaining possible.

Questions about this item

Will the left-angle SATA connector on the SATAPOWADPL keep cable routing tidy in a cramped case with limited clearance?

The left-angle design lets the 15-pin SATA plug sit flush against the drive, reducing strain and improving airflow in tight spaces.

Does my power supply need a free 4-pin LP4 Molex lead to use this adapter?

Yes, the adapter draws power from a standard 4-pin LP4 Molex male connector on the PSU or an existing Molex chain.

Can I power a legacy SATA hard drive alongside newer drives using the 6-inch SATAPOWADPL?

The cable delivers standard SATA power to any Serial ATA drive, so older and newer units can share the same Molex source.
