  1. Thanks for your answer and time. >> If you can be 100% sure that wires don't change places along the way and don't end up in a different pin << Yeah, for it is an extension cable i think this is the case. But i will make it sure before i power up the machine. If it fails big time, at least there is no data on the sata drive yet. Again thanks for help and have a nice day.
  2. Here some pics to show that it physically fits:
  3. Hi, folks! I have a somehow really dumb question, so thanks in advance for possible help. First of all i have a Corsair SF450 80 PLUS GOLD ( https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/SF-Series™-80-PLUS-Gold-Power-Supplies/p/CP-9020104-NA ) psu. Since the sata power cable shipped with the unit is too short to reach my ssd in my specific case, it came to my mind, that i could probably use an extension cable. I already have cable extensions from cablemod ( https://store.cablemod.com/product/cablemod-pro-modmesh-cable-extension-kit/ ) lying around. So my question is: Is it possible to use the "6-pin PCI-e extension cable" plugged in directly to the psu sata/pata aux 6pin power outlet and the other end into the sata power cable which came with the psu ? It would work physically (i tried that already), but i have no idea if it is a good idea and i dont want to fry my ssd or start a fire with my psu. Thanks in advance and have a nice day. Yours truly, Zitronent
