SATA hard drive problem

[plumber4578]

I bought a SATA hard drive because my puter has a SATA connector on it's board. I figure if I go with a SATA 150 drive it'll be better preformance that ATA. One problem...... it has a different power connector. I didn't know sata drives need sata power connectors or whatever. All I have are the pin connector ends. Do they make converter adapters or something??

Yeah, this is a good example of why to spend more consideration on the PSU than some people do. Look at the list of cables and what you need for them.

Most Sata drives come with legacy molex (4 pin) with sata power so you can use either one.
