  • SATA Power Cables

    From Jeff Gaines@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 14:35:02

    I have just re-cased a Lenovo TS140 that will be my home server. It worked first time at switch on! I think that may be a first for a new build or re-casing, must be learning. I did forgot to connect the front panel
    headers but the TS140 comes on as soon as power is applied so no problem.

    I've had to use a couple of Molex/SATA converters for power, I wondered
    why I had a fist full of straight SATA power connectors, it's because they
    are as much use as a chocolate teapot!

    I'm having problems sourcing them. It's a Seasonic modular PSU cable, six
    pin connector at the PSU end and 3 (4 if possible) angled SATA power
    coming off it.

    There are a few on eBay but in China, loads of straight ones but I need angled.

    Any suggestions as to good places to look please? Happy to search but I'm
    a bit out of touch as most things nowadays are built out of the bits box :-)

    Though no-one can go back and make a new start, everyone can start from
    now and make a new ending.

    And as soon as I posted this I found them on eBay from a UK supplier :-)

    6 pin PCIe at the PSU end?

    Thanks Andy :-)

    I managed to find that and used the wording to find the 4 way version on
    eBay - and cheaper :-)
