Replacement Power Supply - Parallel ATA

Victor · 15-04-2011 08:12PM #1

I have an 'older' PC that is still fine for what I use it for. The power supply is dying - it may or may not boot and how far it gets its rather random.

I actually have two of them, so I have the hard drive, DVD player and RAM from one, put into the other.

The specification is 330W ATX PC power supply, 2 Parallel ATA 4-pin Molex power connectors. Checking Currys, Elara and Komplett doesn't seem to be finding me what I need.

What can I do and is it possible to get a Serial ATA to Parallel ATA connnection / converter?

Would this do the trick? http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/catalog_v3.cgi?view_product=1&id=25360

Should do the job just fine. It has 4 Molex/PATA connectors.

That's exactly what you need if you don't have any Sata connections on your PSU but you have drives which do have Sata connections.
