Molex Or SATA Adapter?

I've a SSD but the SATA cable from my PSU doesn't reach the drive so I was wondering what's the best option, Molex to SATA or SATA to SATA extension cable?

I would say Molex to Sata as Molex is stronger plug.

Can you not move the ssd somewherw else.

I would go with the SATA extension just because Molex connectors can be a pain to plug in.

I'd always choose SATA where possible, simply cos molex are really ugly and old technology.
If you ever swapped out the drive for another one down the line, chances are you could reuse that SATA cable, but only a few things actually use molex these days (still waiting on SATA case fans lol)

Yeah as above move the ssd.

Mine is ghetto taped to side of my motherboard so I can squeze two drives into my itx case.
