StarTech.com 20in Slimline SATA to SATA with LP4 Power Cable Adapter

What it is

The StarTech.com SLSATAF20 is a 20-inch (0.5 m) slimline SATA to standard SATA III adapter cable. It converts a 13-pin slimline SATA connector into a standard 7-pin SATA data connection plus a 4-pin Molex (LP4) power connection — letting you connect a slim optical or storage drive to a standard desktop motherboard and PSU.

Who it's for

PC builders and system integrators who need to fit a slimline SATA drive — typically a slim optical drive from a laptop or small-form-factor system — into a standard desktop or server build. Also useful for IT technicians repurposing drives between chassis types.

Why it's good

It supports SATA III speeds up to 6 Gbit/s, so there's no bottleneck on data transfer. The straight connectors keep routing clean inside a case, and at just 22 g it adds no bulk. CE, REACH, and RoHS certified — compliant for professional and commercial use without any extra paperwork.

When to choose it

Choose this when you have a slimline SATA drive and need to connect it to a standard desktop SATA port and Molex power supply output. At under €8 ex VAT, it's the straightforward fix — no need for a full caddy or enclosure if all you need is the cable connection.
