🔴 StarTech.com Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter - 6in, with Power - Slim SATA (F) to SATA (M) - Slimline Serial ATA to SATA (SLSATAADAP6) - Red Review

I upgraded my HP Envy 750-114 power supply and after installing the power supply and making all the connections I found that I no longer have the correct cable to connect to my DVD/ CD drive had . Apparently HP uses a special cable (their cable) that doesn't fit the new PSUs. Anyway, I found out about this adapter and immediately ordered it for same day delivery.
