My thoughts are it is rare for someone to buy a premium Corsair PSU (which is an expensive and premium bit of kit) and want to use it with IDE hard drives and DVD drives and the like from 2006 and before. Plus if you want to use old stuff, you could get an older model PSU that supports it. Not everyone else being forced to buy Molex to SATA. So really as you are wanting to use old stuff on a brand new model PSU you should be one needing to buy SATA to molex adapters so you can use the current SATA power connectors on older Molex devices. So this has annoyed me as its the PSU creators who are forcing this.Ĭould Corsair not just say, right its 2015, thats it no more molex connectors on any non-modular PSU we make and be the trend setter. And thus its constantly recommended not to ever use Molex to SATA adapters and only ever use the PSU connectors. On googling it seems these things are an immense fire hazard as this has happened to many people in the past too.
SATA PSU POWER TO 4 PIN MOLEX CONNECTOR ADAPTOR PC
This has scared me quite badly as I use these in every PC I own as I am forced to. Two weeks ago there was quite a bad fire in my PC and the thing that caused it was my Molex to SATA power adapter. This means you need to buy Molex to SATA power adapters. And yet any PSU you buy comes with a ton of Molex connectors and usually then as a result not enough SATA power connectors. Motherboards have no IDE connectors on them no more, and any DVD drives and hard drives you buy all come with SATA power connectors and no more Molex support. Why is it, now in 2015, do all brand new manufactured PSUs still come with molex cables? And with non modular PSUs usually the same amount of molex as there are SATA power cables?īasically since around 2006 IDE and their molex powered devices are zero. This is a general question about all PSUs, but I figured I would get a good (and probably the right) answer from this forum asking Corsair about your PSUs.
