4 Pin Sata Power Cable

[Aluminum] Strength: • Quality product. Solid heavy aluminum on all 6 sides. Including both the drive caddy and bay. • Cool. The aluminum dissipate the heat much faster than steal or most other materials. • Narrow bay. A little bit smaller than 5 inches. Which is very useful as it needs less space during transportation, offsite storage. The most popular size for safety deposit boxes are 5 inches. The bay easily fits. • Drives go in and come out smoothly • Useful handle to pull out and hold the drive caddy Challenge: • LP4 and 15-pin SATA connectors are too close to each other at the back of the drive caddy. The challenge is that if you need to connect both a 15-pin SATA power splitter cable and a LP4 power cables on the same drive caddy, depending on those cables shapes and sizes, it might not be possible to connect both. Because those cables are blocking each other. See the attached photo to clarify what I mean by "power splitter cable". If you need to connect either the LP4 power cable or the 15-pin SATA power cable, it works though. This challenge could be resolved if the LP4 and 15-pin SATA power connectors were somehow both much further apart and beside each others. Instead of very close and on top of each other. • Noisy fan. The front small 40mm fan is noisy. For a silent drawer, this fan can easily be either replaced or disconnected when appropriate. • No cable bracket to click onto. The risk is that the connection could come loose over time. A bracket would add a click sound when the SATA data cable is securely fastened into it's port.

[50,000 Hours] First time buying a semi-modular PSU, and for the price point, I'm very satisfied with it. The cables that are hardwired will most likely be everything that you need: 24-pin for mobo power, 8-pin (4+4) fro CPU power, and a two prong 8-pin (6+2) for PCIe power (like a GPU). As someone who doesn't use SATA HDD/SSDs, I don't foresee really needing the SATA cables hardwired on a non-modular PSU, so a modular/semi-modular PSU was a must-have.

[0.045 lb] What's to say about a SATA cable that works?

[2 x 0.4 x 0.2"] The 4 pin power cables is well, just a power cable and works great! Not a lot to say in a review really.

[550 TB] This is a bare drive ready to install. All that needs to be done is hook up the power and SATA cable then initialize and format the drive. The drive is nice and quiet. It was designed to be running all day every day for years, unlike some consumer drives.

[3.1 lb] I found this very straight forward to install and worked without any problem. The internal port is perfect for my Bluetooth adapter. At first I feared that it would be wasted, but now am happy with it. Buyers should keep in mind that they need a SATA power connection to fully power the USB ports. If no cable connection is available at the location where you install the card, a new SATA power cable and open connection on your power supply will be necessary. Fortunately for me, I built my computer with a large power supply and had a spare cable and connection on the power supply available.

[PCI x16] Installation in HP Z220 workstation was simple except I needed a SATA power extender cable so it could power connected devices. The cable I purchased was 12 and just long enough. 18 would have been better.
