About this deal

They serve the essential function of transferring data. They should not be confused with SATA power cables – which supply power to the SATA hard drive. Image: SATA Power Cable Y-SPLITTER SATA CABLE powers two Serial ATA HDD, SSD, optical drives, DVD burners, and PCI cards to a single connection on a computer power supply; Snug-fitting drive SATA connector and channel guides on the power supply connector provide a secure connection that wont accidentally disconnect SATA cables are able to connect to a variety of devices and can utilise hot plugging technology only when decides and operating systems are compatible. Examples of SATA capable devices are. COMPATIBLE with popular SATA equipped devices such as SSD Upgrade Kit, Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive, Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive, PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card SATA cables, as mentioned earlier, are thin ribbon-like cables with seven-pin connectors with an L-shaped key for connecting a SATA storage hard drive to your motherboard.

Using a split SATA data cable allows for two drives to be connected to the same port with one cable, reducing clutter and simplifying setup. It also reduces the risk of overheating due to poor air circulation within a computer case by allowing for better ventilation. Additionally, it increases drive performance through improved communication between the motherboard and drives. Conclusion Cost Effective – Using a single cable for two drives instead of two cables can help save money in the long run. Compatibility – One SATA cable will work with most modern storage devices such as hard drives, optical drives and SSDs.DIY or IT installers both appreciate the convenience of sharing a PSU connection when installing new internal components like a DVD burner; the cable adapter provides sufficient length for internal cable management in most configurations

HEAVY DUTY SPLITTER with 2 SATA 15 pin female connectors and 1 SATA 15 pin male is constructed with flexible 18 AWG conductors for reliable performance when connecting two SATA hard drives to a power supply; Supports 3.3V, 5V, and 12V power voltages between SATA I, II, III drives and power supply connections without any degradation of performance I have no idea who launched the idea that Molex to SATA adapters are a fire hazard at any rate, 'cause they aren’t. Each SATA cable requires a dedicated SATA port on your motherboard. a Typical motherboard often has 4-6 SATA ports. Image: SATA Ports Please keep in mind however that we ALWAYS use at least 16 AWG Wire capable of higher current, no matter which PSU we are modding. We also use solder type connectors rather than the punch down style which has less resistance (and thus, less heat and better power transfer). So you have 3 of these drives and you want to split them off the same SATA power point. The current will be additive so the current draw when operating will be... 0.5 x 3 = 1.5 A

Reliable Performance – The connection between the drive and motherboard remains stable even with multiple connections sharing resources.

Another option (and the better alternative IMO) would be to add a punch down style connector in-line with your existing cable! I make custom sleeved extensions and modded PC's for a living and this is, by far, the better option for most people (unless you feel comfortable soldering and understand the way a PSU and electronics work)! The best part about it is that installation is relatively simple and does not require any special tools or knowledge; just plug it into an available PCI-E slot on your motherboard, connect your devices and you’re good to go! Sata Port MultiplierPower distribution in any situation is like a length of chain or team sport. It is only as strong as its weakest component. For most power systems, there are 2 main elements: connectors and cable.
