Question How can places continue to supply molex to sata adaptors that catch fire without getting sued?

Apparently they are well known to cause fires in your pc, if you have a certain type, how is this possilble!
I just bought one off amazon with thousands of reviews, but I'm still terrified!

Use of those adapter cables is ALWAYS dicey and why they are not recommended for use by experienced builders.

What are you trying to do? What PSU make/model do you have?

Virtually anything can cause a fire if not properly used. What exactly are you trying to do here?

I am guessing related to this thread:

Question - Why does my older PC's bios detect my harddrive but my newer one doesnt?

The new one is using a mobo, GA-Z68P-DS3 (rev. 1.0); the older one is using a ms7906 board; the hard drive is a HGST He10 10TB. Bios has latest update. Have tried known working ports and cables, SATA IDE and ACHI modes. Thanks, Im going crazy, and not that savvy technically.

If the PSU doesn't have the necessary cables/connectors, use of an adapter is NOT recommended.
