Where to find another modular power cable for SSD

[dt97583]

Hello,

Posting this for a friend. So he's got an Antec HCG-620M PSU and:

- 3 mech Sata HDDs powered off 1 cable
- 2 CD-ROMs powered
- a new SSD to power but no cable

He needs a PCI-E to SATA modular cable (I think) and he's tried Overclockers who've suggested CableMod but they don't list his PSU. Any ideas where he can find a cable or have I misunderstood maybe.

Thanks

Looking on the Antec website the PSU has 6x SATA & 6x Molex.

Looking at the manual there are four non PCIe power cables, one has 3x Molex and a FDD, one has 3x Molex and the other 2 have 3x SATA each.

The 3x Mech drives probably use one complete SATA cable.
The 2x CDR's probably use one of the Molex cables.

He should have one SATA cable with three plugs on and some Molex connections free unless he's missing some of the original cables from the PSU.

If so he can get a Molex to SATA convertor to power the SSD

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Silverstone 4-pin Molex to 4x SATA cable 30 cm - Black / Blue= £9.95
• 1 x OcUK Value Molex to SATA Power Adapter (PCC-SATA-CABLE)= £0.95

Total: £14.38
(includes shipping: £3.48)
​

​

One is a straight conversion cable the other gives him more SATA power connections for the future.

Thank you!
