Questions & Answers
With regard to these splitters, you are asking the wrong question. You can plug them into anything and they will power it. Power supply is the question you need to answer by asking if it is powerful enough to power all my devices. You can note to Santa that you have added several power eaters from time to time without upgrading the power supply, and you would appreciate either a gift of one, or a gift of money In my case, I run a 750 watt power supply with 6 internal SATA disc drives, an SSD, and 2 DVD drives and it works well for me. I will switch to a 1000 watt unit as soon as I add a couple more peripherals. The power of too much is better than the power of
There are two of these in my possession. There are three spaces between each word. It measures nine inches long (75. A distance of five centimeters (5.2cm) should be left between the SATA
Putting the power in your hands only allows you to split it. Data is sent via the 7pin. The split cannot be done. Adding an expansion card will increase the amount of sata ports on your computer.
Wiring systems in a computer can be divided into two major categories Wires attached to the power system Those wires carry the data. It is simply these power wires that supply power to Their sole purpose is to provide those services. In contrast, SATA data cables transfer the data signal and this is what your operating system sees. It depends on how you set up your system whether your drives will appear as individual drives (separate drive letters). With a Windows system, it is standard for each drive to have its own

My setup at one point demanded the use of two drives, so when I bought this SATA Y splitter power cable, I used to use two drives. Despite the fact that I found these cables to be tempting to buy, they are outright dangerous because they are not properly terminated at the ends, and will either melt or catch fire It is possible to get better terminated cables online. If you plan on buying a SATA Y splitter, look for solid terminals, like those found on high-end power supply units.
In this case, the SATA connectors are rotated 180 degrees from how I, and most people, expect them to be. If you use 90 degree SATA cables, you will plug them in backwards.
It didn't take long for the cables to arrive. There seems to be no damage to any of the connectors on one cable. The last connector on the second cable has a missing PIN right under that area and is damaged to the plastic. This is quite frustrating, as my project will now sit incomplete even longer as I wait for a replacement part to arrive. The cable is not something that would have passed an inspection, so there's not too much to the product.
The Dell computer I own has old hard drives, and I wanted to add a couple of SSDs The problem is SATA power connectors are only supplied by Dell from the factory in sufficient numbers Since I don't plan to overload the power requirements by just using SSD, this power adapter / expander is an effective alternative to replacing the power supply with a Universal (which has more power connections). It has one SATA power connector that connects to the PS, which provides (4) evenly spaced SATA power connections for additional drives, about 2" apart. At this point, no cable management is required, so no slack is left. It took me only a few minutes to connect my SSDs, plug in my cable, and I was done. Nothing to worry about. Some problems can be solved simply and with a low-cost method when it's the simple answer It costs money. A tool like this is one of them.
As a hail mary, I bought this to see if either the main power cable that powers the SSD or the PSU did not like the extra cable, and I was pleased to discover that all three lights came on once this was connected to the main power cable.
Did exactly what I wanted. As far as this item is concerned, there aren't many details to discuss. The plug worked when I plugged it in. In my storage server, I use 2 of these to power 8 hard drives (4 per row) under each row. By using one power connector, I can manage the cables easier since I can power all four drives from one connector. I do not anticipate any issues, so at the moment this gets a 5 out of 5!.
There was a 4-inch hole in my door As I was unsure of how to describe the pin to SATA connector, I referred to the posted pictures instead. I was uncertain whether I had ordered the right connector because the pictures and the descriptions were so poor. I had to wait nine days for the cable to arrive, and I was not expecting that it would be a 4-foot cable The connector type I need is of the pin type, which is totally useless to me. It would be better if they posted better descriptions or better pictures for us non-techies Various hardware types exist. appears that they both use the same kind of hard-to-read font Please see - All the details of the connectors they sell are shown in this picture.
One or two of these are installed in a homebuilt OpenMediaVault NAS box. The device is a great way to extend the reach of SATA ports and add an additional power port. Due to Atom boards being used for these and very low power requirements, the small power supplies that are best for these are unlikely to have more than one power connector. If I add a couple of these per machine, I have enough power connections to actually match the 10 SATA ports of my system. I love the stuff and the quality is great.
