I have a SATA DVD burner & SATA 160GB HD .... but the PSU only comes with ONE SATA power connector .... great ..
I was thinking about buying a SATA host controller card ... but I found out that that will only give me more SATA ports and take up one of my PCI slots LOL
Then I was thinking about returning my SATA DVD burner for an IDE DVD burner .... but also found out the my motherboard doesnt have any IDE ports lol
THEN ... i was gonna buy another power supply with more SATA power cables .... but its expensive .....
AND THEN FINALLY .... i was looking into SATA power cables ... one end has the SATA connector and the other end has a MOLEX connector ...
I know that the SATA conector goes into the SATA port behind my DVD burner ... but where does the MOLEX go~???
What the sata connector/converter does is the same as the molex plug does on a ATA device, it just allows you to use the molex plugs as your power source for the SATA devices.
Your devices should have a 4 pin connector for the molex so you really don't need the converter plug, as either way you only use one power plug.
Don't use both (serial power connection & 4 pin molex on one device) and there should be a warning label on the device that says the same.
