Question Modular SFX with SATA - cannot find the right SATA connector

[anukto]

I am looking for a modular SFX PSU, 300-500W.

What are my PSU options?

The tricky part is SATA connector....where one SATA connector is 100mm away from another one. This is insufficient length because of the way my HDD are installed in case http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-itx-elite-series/elite110/.

Are there SATA connectors, where SATA plugs are not serially connected to the PSU, but rather as a FORK? (1 plug into modular PSU SPLITS (FORKS) into two SATA connectors)

Thanks.

When it comes to the good quality SFX PSUs, you'd only have 2x choices:

• Seasonic Focus SGX series
• Corsair SF series

Seasonic Focus SGX 600W unit has 2x SATA cables with 3x SATA connectors per cable,
specs: https://seasonic.com/focus-sgx#cables

Corsair SF-750 also has 2x SATA cables with 3x SATA connectors per cable but that unit is even more overkill wattage wise, not to mention the higher cost,
specs: https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categ...pply-Units-Advanced/SF-Series/p/CP-9020186-EU

Lower wattage SFF PSUs (Seasonic and Corsair) only come with 1x SATA cable with 3x SATA connectors per cable.

Thanks for reply. I ONLY need 3 SATA connectors. My max power usage measured at power source is 30 Watts at ANY given point of time (I don't have GPU).

If one SATA power cable has 2 or more connectors, then connectors MUST be more than 100mm away from each other. This is the most important FACT! If they aren't I need forking connectors (which I can't believe noone produces).

Does anyone know modular cables that be bought from a company OTHER than PSU company?

Just use CableMod extension, e.g
molex to 1x SATA, link: https://cablemod.com/product-category/cable-extensions/molex-to-sata-power/
molex to 4x SATA, link: https://cablemod.com/product-category/cable-extensions/molex-to-4-sata-power/

I have plenty of CableMod custom sleeved cables in use within all 3x of my PCs (full specs with pics in my sig), which include: power cables (replaced the PSU stock power cables), MoBo front I/O cables, internal USB 2.0 cables, HD Audio cables and 4-pin fan extension cables.

With cable extension, you can go with cheaper SFF PSU. Either Seasonic Focus SGX 450 or Corsair SF-450,
