Hi

I have a new PSU that has a separate line with 2 SATA power connectors on
it.

My hard drive is new but not SATA.

Is there an adapter available so I can run my 160GB IDE drive
from the PSU's SATA power connector?

Usually people have the opposite problem I know.

Thanks

Darren

Probably not enough market potential for anybody to manufacture these.
Tecfhnically it would work.

Better just get a Y-cable and split another connector with it.
