Hello everyone, 

 

i recently bought a rosewill rdcr 11004 (internal sd card reader) the other day and do not know which correct cable to get.  The rosewill rdcr 11004 has two molex (first pic) connectors coming out of it, i attached a Y molex connector to those two (second pic) and realized i need a third molex connector (third pic) in order to get to the power supply, to power the rosewill) Will this third molex connector work? (third pic)

 

thank you

um that third picture is a molex to pcie 6 pin adapter by the looks of it.  I don't think it is relevant here

Sorry, I don't mean the thread :P I mean that type of connector is totally unrelated to what you want to do.  You need a molex extender or something like that - it shouldn't involve pcie power in any way

Does your PSU not have a molex cable?  If not (and I never recommend using these weird converters, but)

 

This should let you run it off SATA power: https://www.amazon.ca/StarTech-com-LP4SATAFM12-12-Inch-Molex-Adapter/dp/B00GK8SYCW/ref=pd_sim_147_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=41ZUHvQYeNL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=5D20TE90402KQK6P51MC

You can split sata power off of an existing cable
