Female to Female SATA power adapters...

What's the use case?
(As if it's for a specific device might be better searching for that. If it's not there might be a better way of achieving whatever you are trying, as like you, I am struggling to find any)
 
I need to use a 6 pin power to sata lead for an extra sata power supply, got the 6 pin to male sata but that wont plug into a hdd

That isn't what that's for. Fairly sure that'll be an adapter for adding a 6 pin GPU power connector, via 2x SATA connectors (they were quite often used during the mining craze to add extra PCI-E power with risers for multiple GPUs)

e.g. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/akasa-2x-15-pin-sata-to-1x-6-pin-pcie-adapter-cb-12s-ak.html (If that's the case then imo chuck it in the bin, as they aren't the safest even for their intended use)


Either get a SATA power splitter, or a Molex to SATA adapter

Tried some different leads and none of the 3 hdds connected operate. The fan controller plugged in however does. Its doing my head in so thought maybe worth giving a moles source to power the lead. Unless someone has any other suggestions
 
Can you share the model of disks you're trying to power along with the PSU model? Bit puzzled myself reading this thread, my first thought would be a simple SATA splitter as linked above by Armageus.

What nade said.

May be me being a bit thick, but not sure what you are wanting to achieve that a splitter cable will not solve.

Pictures may help.

EDIT

The Corsair RM1000X comes with 14 x sata power connectors.

Are you using all of them or lost some cables?

Only using one of them.

If they are new drives they will need initialising, but when you open Disk Manager you should have got the Wizard pop up.

That's what I thought but they are just not there [not even greyed out without a letter assigned] I've emailed Corsair to see what they think.

Checked bios and Sata ports are enabled.

Does the BIOS show the drives as being listed/discovered as connected? I guess if they are not powering up then they won't show at all.

Certainly something odd going on here. Can you list our what hardware/specs you are powering with the RM1000X ? What GPU are you using? Personally I would try and remove any additional devices and goto the bare minimum for power to see what happens.

Is there another PC or system you could try connecting one of the disks to? Any other SATA data cables you could try swapping out? Do the drives make any sound at all if cabled up?
