Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable - 18 Inches

Works as advertised. Absolutely love how easy this makes it to setup multiple HDDs. Great quality, well made.

I needed some extenders to power a SSD I was installing. These worked perfectly for the job and feel much more premium than what you would expect for what you pay.

Needed to drive two HDDs in an array in a system that has few SATA power connectors. This worked great.

I was worried because I've actually had hard drive power plugs break off of old/cheap drives before, so the fact that these cables require a pretty strong insertion force is a bit stressful. However, they worked well and nothing broke, so I guess I'm happy. Useful for a DIY NAS server with more drives than PSU power plugs.

These type of extension cords are always so-so to me. I would never trust them too much because they add extra load to your current power cable. However, I have to use it otherwise it means extra cash on the PSU that I don't really need.I started using one of them in my NAS built and it was working fine. Recently I expanded my NAS drives from 8 to 10, and moved my setup from a itx case + drive cage => mid ATX case.Then I used this one along with a 1-2 sata power splitter cable. So one of my line would be EVGA 3 head sata power cable + this extension + Y splitter. I was hesitated a little bit but still decided to give it a try. The power usage is not that huge so it should be okay.And it works.For this reason, I give this extension cord a 5 star rating. However, it's always YMMV. If your cable shows signs of issue, which will eventually happen to someone (it's a possibility game), and if you doubt, you don't use it, simple as that.Tips: check the cable connections, check the sata power head metal quality. If you cannot find anything abnormal, it should be okay.

At the input end of this adapter, just snip the 3.3v line off, then you can run this up the back of four shucked drives without messing around with tape or other weird solutions to the 3.3v problem. Any modern, major reputable brand PSU (like EVGA) should have enough juice on a SATA 12v rail to spin up all four drives without sag. I run two of these adapters and spin 100TB of 8 shucked EasyStores off them.These are good, solid, safe adapters for the purpose. All you have to do is snip that wire.

These cables appear very well made and strong.I've been using them for a while now and have not had any problems.Fast Delivery too!

I got these not to overload a power supply but to have a nice clean build for my server and limit the amount of wire pooled up by the drives. The spacing is good enough to either wire every other drive or have a manageable loop if spacing dense drives. The connectors are nice and tight on the drive, and most importantly no molded crap that can and have caught fire for others.
