PCIE Riser Power Connection Options

I see that PCIE risers come with a 6pin to sata. What would I even plug the sata into? A sata to 6pin adapter? Why couldn't I just use a 6pin to 6pin for each PCIE riser instead of plugging the sata into a daisy chain adapter and back to the power supply. Can I use these for each PCIE riser?

Use the pci-e from your power supply especially if it is a multi-rail. The adapter is for those who ran out of pci-e plugs.

This is the mining subsection, right?

It is but the question isn't mining related so you could have posted it in the hardware section.
