Simple splitter for SATA power.
I ended up using this not as a splitter to add more devices, but as a splitter to extend the range of the cable from where the power was along it. I had a tight fit and could only put things in certain places. This gave me a little more length and flexability to put devices where I wanted them exactly.

+ Simple and works perfectly
+ fits firmly, doesn't feel loose.
+ Adds about 4" from the split point for both segments.

- aesthetics are ugly and visible if you're worried about matching the inside of the color of your case
- if she wants 8" you'll have to tell her to use both ends.

My computer does not have any Molex power connectors (Dell 9100) and all of my SATA power connectors were in use, so I purchased this and  Manhattan, 6" SATA 15-Pin Male to Dual 4-Pin Molex Female Y Splitter, 308977  and I now have two working Molex power connectors without giving up any SATA power connectors.

I pulled the SATA power connector out of my DVD drive (as I seldom use it anyway, so any power requirements from my Molex devices would unlike be negatively affected) and put that plug into this splitter. I put one of the other ends of this splitter into my DVD drive and the other end into my SATA to Molex splitter and everthing is working as expected.

I purchased this Startech Y splitter to fit a StarTech eSata power connector for their PCIe card. I figured this connector would be designed to fit their own cables. To my surprise, it didn't. The fit was loose.

I felt it was loose enough that the vibrations from my Dell PC's desktop (fans running, etc) would loosen it over time. I contacted CablesOnLine. Instead of sending another StarTech connector,which would probably be the same batch, they recommended they send me one from a different manufacturer. I received the new connector in about 7 days. The new connector fits much better. The tightness is consistent when compared to the OEM connections from my Dell PC desktop power supply to my other internal eSata devices (hard drives, DVD devices). My conclusion is that this StarTech Y connectors was not within specifications.

I should add that this doesn't mean all Startech Y spliiters will have a loose connection. I only know that the one I purchased had a loose fit.

My compliments to CablesOnLine for their quick assistance. They sincerely cared about my problem and wanted to fix it the right way without any red tape. I did not get the rhetorical and often meaningless "is there anything else I can help you with? Have I answered all of your questions?...." CablesOnLine's customer support is excellent.

As suggested, I revised my star rating from 1 to 4 stars. Yes, the suggestor may work for StarTech. However, his suggestion is still valid.

I have a SFF Lenovo computer and I wanted to add an SSD to it. I also wanted to add another small spinning disk to store data and give my SSD a bit of a rest.

But I needed an extra power connector. I wasn't worried about the power draw, the SSD doesn't take much room, and I was replacing a big spinning HDD with a smaller laptop SSD - so I figured I wasn't going to burn anything up.

Easy to use, not too long and the clips worked well.

Size: 1 SATA to 2x SATAStyle: 1 SATA to 2x SATAPattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase
Very good way to make use of PSU power leads and reduce some cable clutter along the way. They are stiff however, enough so that it was proving difficult to get the cabling the way I wanted, took a few attempts at laying the cable differently than originally planned while maintaining the intended profile for said cable. They do lock very securely with very little discernible wiggle to the fit (which I am quite fond of). The only caution i would mention as sometimes people forget to consider it is make sure your PSU has enough juice to it to power however many SATA devices you plan on hooking up, these splitters can't make up for not enough juice to run all your drives. Should seem like common sense, yet twice now I've trouble shooted systems of friends who overlooked that detail.

Works well. Make sure you do not need right angle connectors for the female connectors. The plastic housing on one of them broke, and it had only a little downward pressure on the wires. The plastic housings are thin and weak. If there might be pressure on them then get ones will right angle connectors or thicker housings. Even with the housing broken across the connector it still works but I will be replacing it with one with right angle connectors as soon as I get one.

Reviewing a cable (Amazon asks for a review) - what should I say? It is a cable. Splits a standard SATA power connector into two. Works perfectly the way it should - what else do you expect from a cable? Connectors fit well as far as I can tell.

I have two of them in a Dell T20, this review is the result of me ordering a second one (to make wiring easier than with just one).
The only advice I would give to people used to metric - do the conversion, 6" sounds like a long cable until you realise it is 15,2cm - i.e. not very long (but hey, as described and perfectly adequate for my use).
