Customer Reviews

Allows an older PSU to power a new SATA drive
Having upgraded from an PATA/IDE drive to a SATA, and finding that my PSU didn't have a SATA power lead (although I did already have a SATA data lead), I found this device very handy. Because it has two power SATA connectors, it leaves me the possibility of adding another drive in the future.

Well done to the supplier for not adding on small fortune for postage, too.

Great does the job, very cheap
Cheap or no delivery cost. Overall cheaper than my local PC shop, saves a trip and most likely parking ticket.

Simple but effective
You would think a new PC with only SATA connectors on the motherboard would have spare SATA power connectors but no, not on my Compaq - as many as 8 standard (LP4) spare power connectors, not one SATA!

Hence this handy device, which simply converts a standard power connector to allow up to two SATA devices to be powered. Simple to connect (if you are not frightened by removing the PC case) and works well. Not that it is rocket science, particularly, but it is quite sturdy and well-made, and having two SATA power connectors is worthwhile even if you only need one for the moment.

Price is reasonable and so is postage, though it did take four working days to arrive, so if you need it in a hurry you would be advised to go for a faster delivery option if offered.
