Can't figure out which connector is this

What's it connected to?

That would be a mini-molex AKA Floppy power connector.

 

For people that think the pic is too blurry, it's this:

It's connected to nothing. This was hanging out of my old PC PSU

Can you post another pic so we get an idea of scale?

Yup... it's a 2x4 pin floppy disk drive power (In case you need to save a single bitmap file when your Delorean gets stuck in 1985  ).

 

@revsilverspine Has a nice clear picture (quoted) should anyone else be curios. And below is an identification image for most of the stuff coming out of the modern PSU.

 

@ashu1106:

Rumor has it, you might be able to find a connector that lets you use it for other stuff (RGB controller, Fans, etc.) Cursory Google didn't show a clear path to do this. But you might be able to find something. Maybe a mini-molex to standard molex to something else conversion.

Wow, seeing someone ask what that connector was made me feel old. (For reference, I am only 21)

It's no rumor. It has the same 12V/G/G/5V pinout as regular size molex plugs. Actually quite handy and small and widely used to power fan controllers and RGB strips (or controllers). Since very few people still use Floppy drives (can you even use an internal one these days? Sata floppy drive? Is that even a thing?!) it generally goes unused (if present at all!) as opposed to full fat Molex or Sata plugs, many people prefer to use that to power things.

I've had an LED strip running off of that for YEARS before changing to a PSU that doesn't have one (or at least I don't remember it having one). Now I'm battling the Molex shortage of 2017 (can't power my hotswap since it needs a Molex plug and I have none left free)
