Question about SATA

[RancidWAnnaRIot]

What type of power connector do SATA drives use?!?! molex?!?!? would a power supply that comes with a case be sata ready?!?!

 

[XBLiNKX]

they use regular power connectors. My seagate came with an extra adpator that connects from the molex connecter to the harddrive my my WD raptor connects straight to the molex

 

[NotSoSimple]

SATA drives use their own power connector that is stemmed off from a molex. Also, the power supply probobly does not come with the connectors unless it states it does.

Normal power supllies wont have those as a standard option usually.
