SATA power extension cable..?

phil675 · 20 Nov 2008 at 07:04

Hello there, I'm going to be replacing my broken DVD drive soon and I would like to get a new SATA one. My PSU sits at the bottom of the case and the SATA power lead is not long enough to reach the top of the case where the DVD drive will be.

Does a solution as simple as an extension cable exist?
Does OCUK sell such an item?

Please answer my many questions

Not extensions per se, but they do sell 60cm and 100cm cables which are surely long enough.

[edit] Ignore me - just saw the bit where you said POWER cables ><

[edited edit]OcUK don't sell them. There are such things available elsewhere - maybe you should suggest to OcUK that they extend their range of cables?

(That was the safe way to post the required information - I think...)

Ah yes, perhaps they should extend their range of power cables.

A-hem.

maybe use a molex extension then add a molex to sata power converter?
Bit of a bodge though

I cant link to competitors but I did a search for 'sata power extension' and there are a few out there.
