Power adapter for legacy drives

This Vszerda adapter connects a 15-pin SATA power lead from a power supply to a standard 4-pin Molex device such as an older hard drive or optical drive. It lets builders reuse existing power cables when adding legacy storage to a modern system. The male-to-female design plugs directly into the PSU and the drive without extra cables.

Connector gender and pin count

The adapter presents a 15-pin SATA male connector on one side and a 4-pin Molex female connector on the other. Copper construction carries power between the two standards. This single specification determines whether the part matches the power-supply lead and the drive socket in a given build.

Adds one legacy power outlet

Each unit converts one SATA power connector into one Molex outlet, so it comfortably handles a single IDE hard drive, SSD or optical drive. It runs out when a build needs more than one Molex device from the same SATA lead or when the power supply lacks a spare SATA connector.

Questions about this item

What does the 15-pin SATA male connector on this adapter actually supply to an IDE drive?

The 15-pin SATA male end plugs into a SATA power port on the power supply and delivers the standard SATA power lines to the 4-pin Molex female connector for an IDE hard drive or optical drive.

Which interface standard governs the SATA side of this adapter and what does it limit in practice?

The SATA side follows the SATA power specification, so it can only provide the voltages and current defined by that standard to the attached IDE device.

What physical clearance does the 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inch body need to fit inside a case?

The adapter occupies a 3.94-inch square footprint and is 0.39 inches thick, so it requires that much free space around the power-supply cable routing area.
