Questions & Answers
The question you ask about these splitters is the wrong one. You can plug these in to anything and they will generate electricity. If you ask yourself "is my power supply powerful enough to power everything I have?", then you need to think about your power supply. If you have added several power-hungry devices over the years without upgrading the power supply, it's a good idea to mention it to Santa and ask for a gift of one, or a money gift to allow you to purchase A 750 watt power supply supports 6 internal SATA drives, an SSD, and 2 DVD drives, which is more than adequate for my needs. I will upgrade to a 1000 watt power supply as soon as I have a few more peripherals. A little too much power is always better than not enough.
Two of these are in my possession. There is a 3-inch spacing between paragraphs. It is 9 3/4 inches (75. A maximum of 5cm) separates the SATA
Only a split of the power can be achieved. Data is sent over the 7pin. Splitting is not an option. The same holds true if you need more sata ports, in which case you need
Wiring systems in computers are divided into two main types Wires that bring power to the system It is the wires that transmit data. A hard drive's power wires only supply power to it. Their only job is to do that. Data cables connected to SATAs, on the other hand, transfer the data signal, and this is what your operating system sees. If your drives are shown as individual drives (separate drive letters), how you configure your system has a lot to do with this. With a Windows system, each drive is assigned a letter while having its own drive letter as default.

As part of my setup at one point, I wanted to use two drives, so I bought the SATA Y splitter power cable. In my opinion, it is a tempting purchase, but I discovered that the cables aren't properly terminated at the ends, and likely will melt, catch fire, or both in the event of extreme heat. You can get better terminated cables via the internet. If you need a SATA Y splitter cable, be sure to choose ones with solid terminations, like those on high-end.
If you use 90 degree SATA cables, these will end up plugging in oppositely. I, and many others, would anticipate that the connectors would be rotated 180 degrees from what I expected, and most would expect.
There was a delay of about 5 days in my shipment. The cables arrived at last. For one cable, all of the connectors appear to be in good condition. For the second cable, however, the last connector has some damage to the plastic and is missing the PIN under the connector at the bottom. That is really frustrating, because my build will now sit incomplete for even longer as I await I don't know if the cable would have passed an inspection. The product really doesn't have much to offer.
To add SSD drives to an older Dell computer I needed to add a couple of drives. The problem is A Dell XPS 17 comes with ONLY enough SATA power connectors out of the box So I replaced my power supply with this expander / adapter rather than replace the power supply with a Universal (which has more power ports) since I knew I wouldn't overload the system using just SSD. **** One SATA power connector from the PS connects to this cable, which provides (4) evenly spaced SATA power connectors about 2" apart for additional drives. As a result, no slack in cable management is required. It was simple to do, I just needed to plug in the cable, connect my SSDs, and off we went. It's no problem at all. It is sometimes the simplest solution to problems that is best without sacrificing efficiency and effectiveness It'll cost you. An example of such a tool can be found here.
It would either only power the SSD and the Fan or the Fan and RGB without the I'm literally scratching my head because I'm trying so many cable combinations. When I connected this to the main power cable that powers the SSD, it powered all 3 at the same time! I bought this as a last resort to see if either the PSU or mobo did not like the extra cables.
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. As far as this item is concerned, not much can be said. My computer is now working after plugging it in. This serves to power 8 hard drives on my storage server(4 on each row). I use 2 of them. In that case, I can manage my cables more easily, as I only need one power connector for all 4 drives in the So at this point, I give it five stars! I don't anticipate any issues, so I rate it five stars!.
It would have been nice to have a 4 The post described how to connect a pin to SATA and I was unsure about what a precise description would be, so I relied on the attached images. It was so difficult to tell if the connector I purchased was the right one because the pictures and descriptions were so poor. As I feared, it took NINE DAYS for the cable to arrive, and I was not given a 4-foot cable My needs require a connector of the pin type, so the connector is completely useless. It would be great if they posted better descriptions or better images for the non-English speaking folks A hardware type is a device type. There seems to be a similarity in the way they utilize Please see - All connectors they sell are shown in detail on this page.
I use a few of them in OpenMediaVault NAS boxes that I built from scratch. You will not only be able to add SATA power ports, but you will also be able to extend their reach. Due to the low power requirements and Atom boards I use for these, the PSUs that are suitable for the task are often small and don't have many I have enough power connectors for all 10 SATA ports on my system with just a couple of these per machine. The stuff is great and the quality is great.
