how to connect hdisk to PSU

vygec · 12 Jul 2007 at 11:49

I need to connect an IDE disk to a new psu (Antec sonata 3-earthwatts 500w PSU).
The hidsk has an old molex power connector, where as the psu has the new sata power connector.
Is there a cable connector which i can buy, ive had a look at the website, and cant see anything.

Umm.. does your PSU not have any molex connectors? I'd be very surprised if it didn't. A lot of things still use molex.

not sure, its for my proposed build soon.
The antec sonata III case from what i can see has no molex connectors.

ive seen this on antec's website:

this is for the other way around, i need an IDE disk to go into a newer style PSU (i.e. sata connection).

As said, there are 6 molex connectors on that PSU. You will be fine.
