Review on πŸ’‘ Molex Right Angle Power Adapter: Efficient Power Transfer in Compact Design by Luke Hodes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The SATA connector is very tight, but the Molex connector is worryingly loose!

Molex is something we all have to contend with, so this cable is great for converting Molex into a more suitable SATA cable. However, when I installed this, the Molex connector didn't have the satisfying *click* that Molex is known for, and because it was dangling from the hard drive that the SATA side was connected to, there was a noticeable gap that was causing this slip away. . I ended up having to attach this cable to a crossbar to prevent it from becoming completely disconnected. I pulled hard on the cable to see if it would disengage when I squeezed it, but it stayed together even though the gap widened. But don't risk that when powering your hard drive! I would have ordered a different cable but was happy with it once I attached it to the case. tl;dr Excellent cable, however you may need to reinforce the connecting cables on the molex side with a rubber band or zip tie.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
