Power adapter for legacy drives

This 6-inch Y-adapter converts a single SATA 15-pin male power connector into two 5.25-inch Molex 4-pin LP4 female connectors. It lets builders power older IDE hard drives or optical drives from a modern SATA power cable. The cable uses 18AWG tinned copper conductors rated to UL1007 and carries both 5V and 12V DC rails.

One SATA plug splits to two Molex sockets

The adapter comfortably handles two legacy devices that draw power from the standard 5V and 12V lines supplied by the PSU. Total available current is limited by the single SATA source and the 18AWG wire gauge, so high-spin-up arrays or multiple power-hungry drives may exceed the cable's capacity.

Tangle-free 15 cm cable keeps routing tidy

The short 15-centimetre length reduces clutter inside tight chassis and helps maintain airflow. No additional software, drivers or mounting hardware are included; the product is a passive wiring harness only.

Questions about this item

Can I plug the 15-pin SATA male end into my existing power supply and run two 5.25-inch Molex devices from it?

Yes, the adapter converts one 15-pin SATA power connection into two 4-pin LP4 female connectors rated for 5V and 12V DC, so you can power two Molex drives from a single SATA lead.

How can I verify the cable is delivering power correctly once installed?

Both connected drives should spin up and be recognised by the system BIOS or operating system; if either drive stays silent, check that the SATA male connector is fully seated and that the power supply is on.

Does the package include any extra mounting hardware or do I only receive the Y-adapter itself?

Only the 6-inch Y-adapter with 18AWG tinned copper conductors and UL1007 insulation is supplied; no screws, brackets or additional cables are included.
