I recently put together a new compact pc to work as a home server for media and such. When I hooked up my two ssd`s I realized that the 15 pin power connectors would be sticking straight into a fan.

Of course this is no big deal, as I was sure I`d be able to find some 90 degree sata to pcie power cables online somewhere. But sure enough, all I can find anywhere are either normal angle 15 pin connectors or molex adapters which I do not want to use.

All I need is a pcie (6 pin) to 90° sata (x2 if possible) power connector! Where can I even find these?

I`d like to avoid using adapters if at all possible. I don`t have too much faith in molex for anything other than fans, I always seem to wind up getting loose wires in the connectors.

Plus space is a premium in the tiny form factor im working with, and the business side of my psu is already cramped with cables (with less than an inch and a half between the psu and the chassis casing.)

I suppose though this may end up being my best bet unless someone is luckier than I am at looking.

I would use a molex adapter, personally have never had an issue with molex connections for drive power. The adapter you are looking for is made but without a 90 degree angle for the SATA wouldn't be hard to strip the SATA end off and connect a 90 degree connector if you are really intent on staying away from molex.
