Need cheap SATA power & data cables
OhioGuy
ones that let you use existing molex power connectors from the PS)
Several of my friends and myself would like to take advantage of some of
the OEM SATA drive deals we've seen being offered, but we currently don't
have the data cables or power cables we would need. Obviously, we don't
want to pay the extra $15 or so that is asked for the retail box version
that has this, plus software on a disk we also don't want.
I recently upgraded the mboard on one of my Dad's PC's, and the
motherboard came with a twin pack of these cables - one data, and one power
adapter cable.
I can't imagine that these should really cost much more than a dollar
each, but I'm hoping to buy 10 of each for a grand total of $35. That's 20
pieces, which comes to $1.75 each, including shipping.
Anyone know where I can find such a deal? I've had a few people suggest
different sources, but best I've found is about $5 a pair. Considering that
I can find IDE cables for 70c, I would think I'd be able to find SATA stuff
for twice that or less.

You can get all that (10 SATA data cables and 10 molex-to-dual-SATA power
splitter cables) at newegg.com for $48.85 including 3-day shipping. Item
numbers N82E16812104059 and N82E16812119010.
outletpc.com, which I'd never heard of before I saw their ad just now,
seems to be able to do it for $28.78 including shipping. They maybe great
or they may be horrible, who knows.

Hey! I have a TON of these as I just closed my computer store! If you
like, I can give you a great deal on several of these...forget the rip
off companies!! I probably have like 50 sata cables, and over 100
conversion cables. Let me know, send me an email and we can discuss a
price...i'll pretty much accept any reasonable offer. I'm broke right
now, and everything helps. Lol.
