Thats a molex to floppy adapter.

This cable came with my psu and I originally thought it was a SATA to molex adapter but the one end sure doesn’t look like SATA. What is it for?

It's great for planning new builds, getting a reference on where to start, or seeing what you need to play what games.

It also shows what I recommend for upgrading your stuff!

gpu - gtx 1070

ram - (2x8) 3200mhz

ssd - 970 evo plus 500gb

It's a Molex to floppy adapter, for people like me who use floppy drives.

 

I should probably get one. It may be why my floppy drive is no longer working (I'm running it off of USB power).

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

The last time i used a floppy was 16 years ago...

Once USB drives were a thing i adopted them quickly.
