Hi,

how many watts pass through an hdd-sata cable? It depends on each mini-cable that is integrated in it, or there is a formula to calculate the average of them? I would also like to know the voltage, if itis possible. Maybe I am wrong and the voltaje and watts dependends only on each mini-cable in the hdd-sata cable. Get me out of the error if what I think is not right, thank you

Regards

Ok, I mistake then. So, now I have a new question. I have a interfaz or connector in my PSU that says hdd-sata. I then want to know how much power and voltage provides that interface to the correspondient disk. I figured I was a little lost. Once again, thank you for your patience

regards

I see the thread, but they are talking about the interfaces of the disks and not the interface of the PSU. It's an interesting thread, but I think it does not solve my problem. Anyway, thanks for your help.

To give more information, I will say that the connection of the PSU has 6 pins, such as PCIe connections, only in this case instead of having at the other end these cables another PCIe connection, what they have is a sata connection, which the best had not explained me well. What I want to know is how much power that interface provides the PSU, the 6-pin. Maybe now what I want to achieve is clearer.

The interface does NOT supply the PSU. The PSU supplies the power - if I understand what you are asking.
Please tell us which make and model of PSU you have.
Maybe that will make it clearer.
If I understand you correctly, you would like to know how much power is provided through the SATA connector vs. a PCIe connector?

In the link I posted there is info for every connector from the PSU with voltages and pin assignment!

For example, there is a connector of 8 pins in PSU (connector / interface). In that connector I have connected to a GPU. I have looked for information on the PSU, which incidentally is a corsair HX 1200, and it turns out that if I connect a cable with one end of pins to that connector, and the other end of the cable to the GPU, the power that passes through said cable, at most, are 75 watts. In the case of the hdd-sata connection, I do not know if they have the same power, because it is also a connector in the 6-pin PSU, to which a cable with one end compatible with said connector would be connected, and the other end that is SATA, thus feeding a hard drive.

Updated: For example, in this announcement you can see the type of cable that would be connected: https://es.aliexpress.com/store/product/CARPRIE-E5-SATA-Power-Cable-15-Pin-To-6-Pin-PCI-EXPRESS-PCI-E-Sata-Graphics/2342095_32810783472.html. The connection to the PSU would really be five pins, not 6 pins, so we are not talking about 75 watts, but less. That's what I mean, how many watts would go through the cable? Does it also depend on how much support a connected device has at most? If so, if the disk supports less power than what the hdd-sata interface of the PSU provides, does the power adapt or do I risk burning the disk? I refer to these things. Thanks again for the help.

Anyway, I'm going to look carefully at the proposed threads, to see if I can find the solution.
