Bought a "wrong" power supply - not many SATA power cables. Are there adapters?

[Beetle B.]

I recently built a new computer. Unfortunately, I bought a power supply that had only a single "cable" which can handle two SATA devices. The rest are the old style power (used to power, say, IDE HD's). It's such that I can't even power a DVD drive and a HD simultaneously (the HD is far from the DVD).

I could return the supply to Newegg, but that would be a pain and I'd pay a minor restocking fee.

Do adapters exist that can convert from the IDE style power jack (whatever it's called) to the SATA one? Are they relatively cheap? Reliable? One as good as the other, or should I look for certain brands/specs? Links?

Many thanks.

Yes, there are adapter cables for the Molex to SATA power connectors. Should be able to find them at Newegg. They will probably cost less than $2.

Are they all pretty much the same, or should I look at brand and other specs?

Some of them switch off into two SATA connectors - I assume that's OK?

Newegg seems to charge the shipping fee for each one - so the price effectively comes out to $5.49 for each.

If you have a Fry's or Microcenter store, they carry this kind of stuff.

I do live near enough a Fry's (recently moved in this area, so don't know it well). I'll just go there.

Thanks!
