Question 1

Can this be used to power a SSD?

Accepted Answer

Hi Michael, I asked the original question. I double checked my Dell desktop. My original Seagate HDD is powered by what appears to be this exact adapter. Since I want to run a SDD and a HDD I'm pretty sure I need this adapter to fit into the empty 6 pin slot labeled "SATA PWR" on my motherboard. Btw, I'm installing a Samsung 860 EVO. It needs the male SATA connection. Any thoughts?

Question 2

Is this cable safe to plug directly into my modular PSU? I've never had to buy cables going directly into a PSU before

Accepted Answer

Depends on your meaning of "directly into my module PSU", many can only have plugs go in one way and I doubt the SATA plugs would plug in directly. If you mean plugging the SATA plugs into the cables that come with the PSU, then yes it should be fine.
