No Sata Power Cable on my Power Supply

I bought an old Corsair power supply second hand awhile back when first starting to try and piece together a build. It's an 850w Corsair HX850w Professional Series that's supposedly 80 plus silver that is also semi-modular. The only connections that came with it is a 24 pin, 1 6pin pci-e, one 8pin pci-e, and an 8 pin eps for the cpu. That's it. for addition connections there is 6 6pin potential connections and 4 8pin potential connections.

 

Everywhere I've looked for a sata power cable that could connect into one of those sockets has come up empty, there are millions of pci-e to sata but not the sata power that connects to an ssd. theres also a bunch of MINI 6pin to sata power but those are mini 6pin.

 

My only options that i can think of is to buy a regular extension and and 6pin connection and Frankenstein them together to fit into my power supply. Or buy a new power supply

 

I'm lost guys, pls help.

do make sure that these are for your exact model, mixing cables from the wrong unit can cause problems.

That is the power supply that I have, will the connector that you linked work with this one? 

It's a server psu, come to find out, which makes sense. But my concern with the connector is that there might be a big difference between the 'Corsair HX850' and the Corsair HX850w'

the w just means watts, so hx850w is an hx850, even shows as "hx850" in the link you provided.

fair enough, I guess Corsair has an HX850 for servers and regular pc's, kinda confusing to be honest but. That cable should be okay to go into my unit then presumably.

 

Thanks for the help, never thought to look on eBay.
