🔌 LP4 Power Splitter Cable by StarTech Com Review

The connector pins are loose inside making it difficult to connect to other connectors. For the price I was expecting a little more quality.

They are well made and work well. I used them because I was inserting 8 SAS drives for two disk arrays and needed additional power connectors.

This is exactly what you need if you are making an original Xbox softmod and need a splitter to power a second larger hard drive. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just search YouTube for a guide on software modding the original Xbox. You can also search CoinOps 7 Massive to see what you can add to your original Xbox after cloning the original hard drive information and then installing a newer, larger hard drive.

If your PSU is new, you most likely already have cables to power two GPUs. Check if your power supply comes with 6-2 pin connectors or 8 pin connectors (they have two extra pins not used in all GPUs). Feel free to comment your PSU and GPU names and I'll help you find the right cable. I used them to better manage the LP4 performance requirements of…
