Hi all,

 

So I need to make a sata to fan power adapter so I can jump start my distro pump when I rebuild my loop. I previously hacked apart an old molex connector but ended up using it again for something else so just want to sense check before I solder it up. I'll he hacking a sata connector off a random fan rgb controller that only has 2 wires attached which must be GND and 12V

 

Black is GND and yellow is 12V on fan connector side, am I right in thinking the right wire on the sata is 12V and the left one (going to the longer bank of pins) is GND?

Probably going by wire location, but ideally you'd check with a multimeter.
