The SATA connector has a gold-plated boot and is molded from PVC

Questions & Answers

A 4pin male connector comes with the LED strip I have. Would I be able to connect it to the molex end of the strip and the sata end to power the LED?

Can you tell me if the LED strip connector is a I will be able to use it if it is.

Could you clarify in case I'm mistaken, but this converts Sata power to 4 pin Molex, ?

It's not clear to me what the question means. As for me, it works like this The video card is a MSI Radeon Frozen III 3GB video ram card I needed to plug into a normal PC that has The program did what it was supposed to do.

The Hue+ and NZXT USB extensions that I have both need molex power. Can I connect them both to sata power via a sata cable instead of using molex cables?

I agree! I don't understand your question, but I think I do. Good to go! Hue+ is a pretty cool app. You can rely on this to work perfectly for your purposes. I will mention this as a side note It looks like a nice Hue to me. On my next build, I may have to get one.

How well would this work with LED ?

I believe LEDs with the proper connector and resistors (which they would have if they had a Molex connector) can do this.

You will lose all your data (and maybe your home) if you convert your network to SATA
3/5

You will lose all your data (and maybe your home) if you convert your network to SATA. It is an actual phrase - it does not sound like anything I made I'm generally fairly balanced when it comes to criticism, and try not to take it personally when it comes down to nitpicking. When I see a cheap design that risks your data, expensive electronics, and most importantly humans, I rain a torrent of acidic animosity down on the design. There is an injection molded SATA connector feeding a Molex over crimped pins, which is a bad sign for you

(Note the picture conveniently omits the connection to the SATA plug on the rear. eyebrow*)There is a lot to read about this topic online. However, let me offer a primer here for those who are unaware in order to save someone's It can change their whole world and perhaps even their life. Here are some helpful general practices you should follow 1 .
Do not use injection molded plugs in general (e. g. There are some cable connections that do not have a crimped connection, but thread into the plastic directly. 1. ) Text B2. Consider avoiding adapters entirely if you are uncertain about the power requirements in your rig. The third part. If you can, stay away from SATA to Molex adapters altogether, both crimped and injection molded, they have current / power delivery issues I will reveal The fourth paragraph. Don't use an injection molded SATA to Molex adapter and do not daisy chain it with other adapters after it if you must use one. The why is as follows There are a couple of reasons why injection molded plastic connectors are particularly problematic when connecting SATA to Molex. Each Molex power pin can deliver 11 amps (5V and 12V), so a total of 22 amps can be delivered via the Molex. There are three pins in total (2 of them The batteries are 3V, 3 x 5V, and It is possible to carry one pin at a time. A total of 13Amps are available from 5Amps. A five-amp circuit. However, if it were removed, it would be 1. A 3V amperage can be handled by 9 amps at this time. The plug has a rating of 9 Amps, but the device was designed to handle 44 Amps (2 x Has this made sense to you In more simplified terms, this means that a device with a Molex connection may have a current requirement that exceeds the SATA connector. (By the way, one would hope that they didn't just randomly choose connectors). A plug designed for a lower current is excessively damaged when it is pulled too far through During a heat wave, they become very hot. In this particular situation, the heat could melt the plastic injection mold design, which could result in a short / arc fault condition, which would cause fire, damaged components, etc. If you went further, you would be daisy chaining more adapters after that. It is likely that you are asking, "Why the hell did I buy this in the first place?"? It was my understanding that I'd stay within reasonably reasonable current demands in my situation, and I understood my application very The fact remains, even in light of that, I was still unwilling to fit an injection molded plug into my backup machine. The risk is not worth it. Apparently, there's a lesson to be learned here. What's it? The potential risk of improperly made cables makes it an easy decision to spend an extra couple of dollars on a good cable. Take your data seriously, and make sure your life isn't put at risk.

The SATA end of the adapter is While the Molex connections were fine, the SATA connection on this item was poorly constructed
3/5

Upon opening the package, the various electrical contacts on the SATA connection were bent upwards and downwards, and had to be manually bent back down to be even enough to fit into a SATA port on a power supply. It took me a little bit of time to do that with my thumb nail. There were also a series of uneven tips on the contacts, creating the illusion of Before connecting it to the system I purchased it for, I tested it out on a spare PSU with a fan connected to it via Molex cable to ensure that it was working properly. It tripped over when I carefully unplugged it from the test setup (I was still worried about my contacts that had been bent straight) and the L shaped end of the SATA connection fell off and has become stuck inside the SATA connection on my power supply The unit is not returnable, so I have to tape it to keep it in place in order to make it function. Since that isn't a preferable option, I will throw this in a pile of random cables until it either comes to my rescue in an emergency or ends up in.

According to its design, it operates As far as I can tell, it achieves The four pin wire thing that connected my power supply and the power supply itself was cut off
5/5

My thoughts were that I would not need I need to take up less space in this That's what it turned out to be. I am glad I did not leave all of them 4 pin plugs in place. It is hard to get my back plate on my computer without them. This problem is no longer an issue for me. In short, yes, I am happy with the outcome. I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July!.

I used this to power my USB 3
5/5

0 with no problems. Using this card combined with a SATA power splitter, I was able to power two USB 3. 0 devices at once. I had the following problems with a client's Optiplex 360 mini In the case of a Dell Optiplex 360 with two optical drives and two hard drives, there is literally no spare power connector. It did not appear to have a 4-pin power connector. In order to gain access to the SATA power connector, I used a tool.

I found this to be very helpful
5/5

This is something you should not miss. The item is well packed and well Upon arrival, the items were in good condition and at a fair price. The cable parts bin should be filled with this item by all computer builders. I have a usual SAS/SATA RAID 5 installation on my server As the Power Supply Units (psu) come with four SATA connectors as standard, no additional ones were needed for the Swap Backplane. On the other hand, two 4-foot units were found Since power is supplied to the backplane by the 4-pin molex connectors, there is a shortage of 4-pin connectors These connectors have a Molex pin configuration. Here to the rescue came this product, which lets the server read and write SATA 0 SSD data and SATA 5 CDs and DVDs. Very happy with the item and with the seller.

Adapters of this kind can be problematic, though it worked for me
3/5

The adapter worked, but these kinds of adapters have the potential to cause a fire. Watch out for them. It would have set off a fire, so I threw mine out before that could happen and now use an L-style wiring molex to sata adapter (less chance of fire).

The solution worked perfectly
5/5

Due to the lack of Molex power connectors on my computer (Dell 9100) and the fact that all of my SATA power connectors were in use, I purchased this upgrade, and it worked as it was supposed to.

I had no issues
5/5

I got more 4-star ratings than I anticipated There is no need for the irritating "new and improved" SATA power connector since there are pins to connect molex disk drives. As long as technology exists, it will live.
