I have a Dell Optiplex GX 270 computer. It has a SATA port on the motherboard but does not have a Sata power connection. The manual for this machine says that the 6 pin molex connector is to be used for a Sata hard drive. The problem is I don't have an adapter for this 6 pin connector to a Sata connector. Do you know of anyone that sells this adapter? Dell does not carry this as an extra part for this computer. I have ordered a 4 pin to Sata adapter already, but not sure if this will run the Sata drive on this computer.
Thanks in advance for any help

Welcome to Tom's Hardware!

This will do the job: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

After you connect the hard disk cable to the SATA port on the motherboard, get into 'Setup' by repeatedly pressing the F2 key during startup and then make sure you activate that SATA port that you plugged the cable into.
