SATA-to-Molex power adapter
This 15-pin SATA male to 4-pin LP4 female cable lets you power an IDE hard drive from a modern SATA power connector. It is intended for builders adding legacy storage to a current ATX or EPS power supply.
Voltage and connector limits
The adapter passes 5 V and 12 V DC through two connectors without active regulation. It supports 2.5 and 3.5 inch IDE hard disks, optical drives and other devices that use the large 4-pin interface.
Simple plug-in installation
Push the SATA male end into the PSU lead and the Molex female onto the drive until both seat firmly. Mis-aligned pins or a loose fit are the typical issues that prevent the drive from spinning up.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 1" or the 5" version for a standard ATX case?
The cable length ranges from 1" to 5"; choose the shorter end for tight routing near the PSU or the longer end when the drive bay sits farther away.
What does the 15-pin SATA male actually deliver to my IDE drive?
It carries 5 V and 12 V DC from the PSU through the 15-pin SATA header and presents them on the 4-pin LP4 female so the IDE device receives both voltage rails.
Does the LP4 female end follow the standard Molex pinout for 2.5" and 3.5" drives?
Yes — the 4-pin LP4 female uses the conventional Molex arrangement, so any 2.5" or 3.5" IDE hard drive, optical drive or other large-4P device plugs in directly.
