8" SATA 15pin Female w/Latch to Molex 4pin Male Power Adapter
This is a good product for the money. This 8" power supply adapter-cable turns any standard MOLEX 4pin power supply cable into a SATA 15pin Female power cable w/ Latch. Makes adding a SATA powered pcie card to any system simple and easy, providing you have an available Molex 4pin female power supply port available on your existing systems power supply.
I found these connectors on a search of the net, and Monoprice had a very competitive cost. I ordered a few, and was pleased with what I got. They were delivered on time, and the cables are well made.
User imjustmatthew's review is spot-on. The connector is clearly too wide, by a couple of millimeters. If lined up and connected at the same time as SATA data cable, it's possible to make it fit (very, very tightly), though. I haven't had a problem with the latch, but then again I don't have much experience with (high quality) SATA cables or much to compare to.
PROS: Inexpensive. Does the job (mostly).
CONS: SATA connection is too wide, may not fit, or fit too tight. Unsleeved cables. Latch may be too tight.
I would not buy these again, even for a drone desktop I don't care about. The SATA connector is just plain built wrong and no one at QA thought to actually measure the cables and tell engineering that. Spend a few more dollars and get a cable that's made correctly.
CONS: The SATA side of the adapter is almost 2mm wider than it should be. It will not mate evenly with a SATA drive. It sticks off at a 5-10 degree angle. In all cases so far it's still worked, but it's definitely not correct. Like several other low cost cables, the latches are poorly designed and very difficult to remove without taking part of the drive's plastic with it. This may be a plus in some cases.
