Customer Review: Cheap, Quick Fix for Incompatible Power Connector for New SATA Drive.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had committed to add a new SATA drive to a system that already had an IDE/EIDE drive. I thought it would be smooth since there was a SATA connector on the motherboard that was not being used for the Data Cable. After purchasing the drive, I realized that the only power connectors available were the old LP4 type. This adapter was a cheap, quick fix, thanks to Amazon. I did not need a Y-Splitter, I could have used a StarTech.com 6IN LP4 MALE TO SATA HARDDRIVE ( SATAPOWADAP ), but chose to go this route so that the system now has a free SATA power connector, should there be any other upgrades.
It did what it was supposed to do! There are other types too, like this one with locking metal latches on the SATA connectors: 6 inch 4pin Molex to Dual SATA 15pin with Metal Latch.
Customer Review: Exactly what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
This does exactly what it says it will. I needed an additional power cord for a new hard drive I added to my despktop and I decided to use this to split one of them. I use this with my primary hard drive the boots and runs my computer. Have had zero issues since hooking this up. I have a 550 Watt powers upply with 3 internal hard drives and have seen no power issues by using this splitter. Wonder how many of these I could use?!Customer Review: I can't tell you how pleased I am with this Y-cable pwer adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
When Amazon wrote and asked me to review this cable, I was almost overcome with joy. It is functioning absolutely perfectly. The only improvement that could be made would be to add some style to it and hire a name designer like Tommy Hilfiger to add some creativity to its appearance and a class name for those want their systems shown in the Museum of Modern Art. I suggest "shocking pink" as the color for a real power cable.Customer Review: Worked Perfectly - Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
The StarTech "LP4 to 2 SATA Internal Power" cable provides two SATA power connectors from one standard PC power supply connector. I needed to install a second drive in my PC but was short on available power connections and this cable solved the problem. Both SATA power connectors are also long enough to reach anywhere in my midsized HP tower chassis.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: Startech beats the competitors pricing
Summary: 5 Stars
Look around. The competition sells the same thing at tremendous markups. I decided to order on line and wait a day rather than pay the markup. I have used StarTech products many times and never had an issue with their product line. Can't beat the price either, at least not yet :)!
One word of advice, order two. You usually end up needing a second one and the price is right.
