I'm looking to get another internal hard drive for my computer. But, currently all the cables are used for the two hard drives and the optical drive. I know there is a type of cable adapter for the power supply. But, I completely forgot the name of it.

Can someone explain what I will need to split the power source and connect the additional hard drive?

You will likely need one of the three adapters below. If the hard drive you are trying to add is a SATA hard drive, then you will need to get either:

The single SATA to two SATA adapter:

Or, the single Molex 4-pin to two SATA adapter:

If your hard drives are the older IDE version then you will need to get:

  • Ah Thanks a lot. I think this was what I was looking for. It seems a lot of people have been getting problems with the molex adapter frying their SSDS though... scary. Feb 6, 2013 at 20:27

    I have used several molex to SATA adapters without any problems with them frying a SSD drive.
