Can I use a 8 PCIe port on a modular power supply for an extra Sata line

[Drbeatz]

Hi,
I have used up all of the sata ports on my modular power supply but I still have plenty of CPU/PCIe ports. Can I use a 6 pin modular cable for sata drives in one of the PCIe ports. The cable fits fine but obviously leaves 2 pins empty on the PSU. Any have an idea?

All of the other sata ports are used so they are not an option. I have searched for a PCIe to sata connector but seemingly only the other way around is common place.

There USB no spare Sata or molex ports. All are used. All of the PCIe ports on the board are taken up (it's a mining rig).

have any available molex connections? here is an adapter for molex to sata https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400307&cm_re=molex_to_sata-_-12-400-307-_-Product


plenty more of this type easy to find.

they also make cards that fit into pcie slots and give extra sata connections https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064&cm_re=pcie_to_sata-_-16-124-064-_-Product

one of these options might do the trick
