Not Enough Small Power Connectors

Solution
I'm going to assume that by "small" you mean the 15-contact connector for a SATA HDD, and by "large" you mean the 4-pin (well, 4-hole because it's the female) Molex power output of a PSU. To get more standard SATA power connectors you can choose one of two types of adapters.

That adapter converts one 4-pin Molex ouput into 2 SATA power connectors. You can use splitters like this easily - the power available at a single PSU output for HDD's is capable of powering several HDD units.

That one splits a SATA power connector into 2.

Emerald gave the first answer, so I pick that for the solution. And Paperdoc, thanks for the in depth description, I like the splitter. TRENDING THREADS
