SATA to Molex Power Adapter

The ModMyMods CAB310 adapts a 15-pin SATA power connector to a 4-pin Molex receptacle. It lets a modern power supply drive legacy IDE hard drives, optical drives or case fans that still use the older connector. The moulded black housing is built for internal routing in standard PC cases. Hot-plug support is included for SATA devices.

Builders with mixed drive generations

This cable suits anyone adding an older Molex-powered device to a newer PSU that only offers SATA leads. It does not suit builders who need to power a SATA drive from a Molex-only supply, nor those who require a daisy-chain cable for multiple devices. The single-connector design covers one device only.

15-pin SATA male to 4-pin Molex female

The decisive specification is the connector pairing: a 15-pin SATA plug on one end and a 4-pin Molex socket on the other. Verify that your power supply presents a SATA power port and that the target device uses a standard 4-pin Molex input before ordering.

Questions about this item

What existing power connector must my power supply provide to plug this adapter in?

Your power supply needs a free 4-pin Molex connector; the adapter plugs its female Molex end onto that supply lead.

Will this adapter let me keep using an older IDE drive that only takes a Molex plug?

No, the adapter converts a SATA power source to a Molex output, so it powers Molex devices from a SATA lead, not the reverse.

How can I confirm the hot-plug capability is active after I connect a SATA drive?

With the system running, attach the SATA drive to the adapter's 15-pin male end; the drive should spin up immediately without a reboot.
