Hi there!
I'm planning to add an SSD to my setup (Samsung 860 EVO 500GB ). The problem is that no free cable remained from the PSU with SATA end. Only one molex type. So I searched on the internet and saw that these actually can catch fire at the SATA end.
This guy speaks about what should I look for when buying one:

Searching on webshops I've found one which he sonsiders 'OK' in the video: AKASA AK-CBPW01-30
This is my best find currently.
I took a look at my other PSU from my prevoius PC, which is a Corsair CX430. It served me well from 2014 to 2020 approx. It has a tone of SATA ends, but I've read here in one of the sticky threads that it is considered a low tier PSU and should be avoided. (even though I had no problems with it at all)
So my question is: should I buy an adapter or change the PSU?
Current PSU: Diamant 330u 550W
It is possible that I will check for an adapter in a shop, but before that I would like to know your thoughts/opinions about these adapters.
