PSU 12 Pin connector????

[salm2s]

Hi there,
I bought case/psu combo from a local shop. The case is the ThermalTake Versa H21 500 PSU combo. When I checking the cables, the SATA power connectors only had 12 pins instead of 15 pins.
Is this enough for my hard drive
Thanks,

Should look like this:

Yes it does have the size of a normal SATA power connector and has 4 coloured wires connecting to it, but only has 12 pins though.

The extra 3 pins are for the +3.3V , most devices will not need these , so the 12 pin should be just fine.

A PSU with this type of SATA cable can't be the greatest quality.

This is what the Official website says about the PSU

Not a very good PSU , INCLUDED PSU's aren't usually good quality.
