Two black Y-splitter cables with a 4-pin Molex male plug and dual down-angled 15-pin SATA female connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 2-pack 6-inch Molex 4-pin male to dual 15-pin down-angle SATA female power splitter cord

SKU CH-H2KJ-Q9J68

Two-pack of 6-inch cables converts one Molex 4-pin male into two down-angle SATA 15-pin female ports for powering SSDs and HDDs

  • Converts one Molex port into two SATA power connections
  • Down-angled SATA connectors sit flush against drives to save chassis space
  • 18AWG tinned copper wiring provides stable 12V and 5V delivery
  • Locking latches on each SATA port prevent accidental disconnection from vibration
  • Plug-and-play adapter adds SATA power to older supplies lacking native outputs

2-pack Molex-to-SATA power splitter

This 2-pack converts each legacy 4-pin Molex LP4 output into two 15-pin SATA female power ports. The 6-inch cords suit 2.5" SSDs, 3.5" HDDs and SATA optical drives in compact PC builds. Builders upgrading older power supplies gain extra SATA power connectors without replacing the unit. Each cable uses 18AWG tinned copper wiring for stable 12V and 5V delivery.

Practical limits of the Molex-to-SATA interface

The adapter relies on the host PSU Molex rail to supply both 12V and 5V lines required by SATA devices. Total current draw of the two attached drives must stay within the rating of that single Molex connector and the 18AWG conductors. Very high-spin-up-current 3.5" drives or multiple drives on one rail can exceed the available power budget. The cable provides power only and carries no data signals.

Installation notes and common issues

Plug the Molex male end into a spare PSU connector, then press each down-angle SATA female port onto the drive until the locking latch clicks. The short 6-inch length keeps routing tidy but limits reach in larger chassis. Ensure the down-angle orientation matches the drive bay layout so connectors lie flat. Verify the Molex source rail is live; some modular PSUs disable unused peripheral cables until enabled in software.

Questions about this item

Should I get the 2-pack or buy singles if I need to power two drives from one Molex?

The 2-pack gives you two cables, each splitting one Molex into two SATA ports, so one cable already handles both drives; keep the spare for another build.

Will the 12 V and 5 V rails on my PSU run a 3.5" hard drive and a 2.5" SSD together through this splitter?

Yes, the 18 AWG tinned copper wiring is rated for stable 12 V and 5 V delivery to both a 3.5" HDD and a 2.5" SSD simultaneously.

Does the 15-pin SATA power connector limit the drives I can attach?

The 15-pin SATA power connector is the standard interface for 2.5" SSDs, 3.5" HDDs and SATA optical drives, so any drive with that port will work.
