Works well!
Used this to power the lighting on my Cooler Master ML240 rgb water cooler with rbg control. My power supply didn't have lp4 power so I adapted my available power from my hard drive sata line. Works well, cheap, and easy install!

Moles has 12v and 5v input, which means this cable will only output the two voltages. The cable and adapter have decent quality and works fine for my devices.

Before buying you should check the voltage ratings for your device. Only buy this if your device only supports the two voltages not 3.3v.

If you are still concerned you should check the pinout and check for connectivity or verify voltage before connecting your devices. After all bad units may still exist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adapter
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2012
Size: 2 inchStyle: SATA to LP4 Power AdapterVerified Purchase
To be clear, you use this to attach an IDE drive to a SATA connection on mother board, most likely because your motherboard either does not have IDE for what ever reason, and you do not want to throw our a perfectly good IDE drive.

I was frustrated at first because I did not read the instructions. I plugged this in and booted and PC hung. Finally read the instructions and it tells you to move the drive jumper to MASTER. HOWEVER, I did that and still did not work. In my case for my motherboard, the jumper needed to be set to CS(CableSelect). Once I did that the PC booted. I suspect other motherboards/bios will recact differently

HOWEVER, windows explorer did not see the drive when boot completed. When I looked in Device Manager the drive was there with an "!". I then opened Disk Manager and it did see the drive but called it "FORIEGN" or something of that sort. I had to right click on the drive and "Import FORIEGN DRIVE" or something like that and all was well.

Summary, I know this may seem a little technical to some folks, but if you are in messing around with your motherboard and devices you should have the skills to understand the above, it is sort of windows admin 101 kinda stuff.

Hope this helps someone and saves a little time. But the device does do the job and works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Alienware SSD upgrade
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014
Verified Purchase
Dell is currently charging $350 to add a 256GB SSD drive (most likely Liteon) to the x51 model currently selling for $1149. There isn't even an option for adding an SSD to the lower cost x51 models. (I purchased the model one step below this base price but containing the GTX 760 ti graphic card, assuming it's the graphic card that matters most and not so much the CPU).

Guess what? You can buy a Samsung Evo 250GB SSD drive on Amazon for $153.99. Pay yourself $200 for doing the following:

Read instructions for installing an SSD by an Alienware enthusiast after doing a search for "PYO1LP4SATA upgrade alienware". The upgrade is very easy and does not take too long. What does take long is installing Windows 8 and Alienware Command Center on your new SSD drive.

Installing an SSD is much easier than you think -- I open up my computer case once every 3-4 years, so while I may seem knowledgeable relative to the average consumer I am by no means an expert or comfortable with computers.

One thing the instructions do not mention are the following: 1) you need a sata cable in addition to this power y cable; 2) if your original HDD is small enough, first see if there is software that comes with your SSD drive that will copy over all data and settings onto the SSD because reinstalling from scratch was very time consuming; 3) if you reinstall everything from scratch, you will need to find copies of Alienware Command Center and a few drivers. Do a search for "Product support for Alienware X51 R2" or whatever your model is to get the relevant page.

I am pleased with the results of adding an SSD to my x51 r2. It takes about 10 seconds to load BF4, and restarting the system computer after an update takes just a few seconds. This is super compared to painfully long loading times I experienced with my previous computer running on a HDD. You might think it doesn't matter so much, but I tell you once you experience it it's super -- like going from picking cotton manually to the cotton gin.

One more thing that may be relevant to Alienware x51 upgraders: the original 1TB drive that comes with the Alienware x51 r2 is a Western Digital Blue. I replaced mine with a 3TB Western Digital Black -- I wanted a drive that supposedly has a low chance of failure because it's where I want to store and access all my family photos and videos. It's working well so far.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very difficult to plug in
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: LP4 to 2x Sata PowerVerified Purchase
As others have noticed and reported, it's very difficult to plug in the Molex connector.
The pins are not properly secured and wobble around a lot. Trying to align all 4 of them at the same time was "fun".
Eventually I managed, and after that filled the back side of the connector with epoxy as I don't want to play this fun game ever again.
Cheap? Yes. Works? Yes, once you plug it in.
5 stars? Hell no.
