    Stupid request here, but I need a cable for a Corsair Power (CX600M) supply going to a HDD/SSD, the long L-shaped one. I can't seem to locate any spares at home here and have no idea where I would get one.
    Anyone have a spare they do not need or can tell me where to get one?
    As an aside, there are lots of spare 4 pin plugs and other types coming from the PSU availabe in the case, but none of them fit the HDD/SSD, so perhaps there is a connector which I could attach to them?

    Sorry for the stupid request.

    Be very careful with MOLEX-to-SATA adapters!!



    There are f*cktons of stories of them causing fires, destroying motherboards & drives!

    Just ordered one from Amazon. What is my option then? Pay for a new corsair set at €50?

    I've used them for years and never had an issue, PSU's only come with so many SATA power cables, and if you breach that number, you don't have a lot of choices. The issue seems to be with particular low quality versions, so I would suggest OP try and buy a decent one and spend a few yoyos more than the cheapest available.

    The other option is to daisy chain off one of your existing cables with one of these.
