What to do if my PC only has one SATA power connector?

V_Champion · 30 May 2020 at 23:50

So I've purchased a PC from OcUK last year, and since then I've been running out of space on both my drives, so I bought a new SSD from OcUK, and realized that I didn't have an extra SATA data cable so I bought one from OcUK. That leaves me with a new problem. It seems that there isn't another free SATA power cable in the PC, and now I'm completely stuck.

What should I do, is there anything I can buy?

P.S. i've checked all the boxes and stuff that the build came with to see if there'd be any extra cables but no luck, there wasn't a PSU box either.

If it matters, OCUK used this PSU for the build.

thanks in advance

It says it comes with 6x SATA power connectors, how many have you got or currently using?

All of them are in-use. There are literally no spares, overclockers built the PC, & they didn't put in the original packaging for the PSU.

You could contact OCUK about the order and ask if they'd send you out the cables? You should have been given everything that was in the PSU box anyway.

Buy a splitter cable such as https://www.overclockers.co.uk/akasa-sata-power-splitter-ak-cbpw05-30-cb-058-ak.html

+1 for splitter cable to fix problem

Does it have unused molex as you can getb dual sata adapters for them too.
