Most SATA hard drives require a SATA power cable for power supply. This adapter is useful for power supplies without SATA power connectors. It allows a connection between the IDE port of the motherboard and the SATA device. Copper cables have clearly better properties in terms of quality and resistance. Furthermore, they are more flexible than aluminum or steel variants, making them significantly more durable. The lower the oxygen content in the copper, the better the conductivity properties. Gold-plated connectors protect against corrosion and increase conductivity, ensuring fast and long-lasting data transmission.
