[SOLVED] Where can I get a 2-pin ATX19V1 cable?

[Dannyk93]

Hi,

I have a computer that has a H81T motherboard, it uses DC power rather than a PSU.
It appears I would need a cable to plug in to the 2pin ATX19v1 socket so I can power an SSD.
But I have searched everywhere and can't find anything that would possibly fit.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

What drive is in it now?

From your manual, pg 1_2 and 1_3 show a SATA power connection. Item #6.

It's not what you need.

Look at the ASUS logo, there are an yellow and a black SATA connector, next to it it's the standard SATA power connector, you can use a split SATA power cable to power two SSD.

The yellow connector is SATA 6.0Gb/s, the black is 3.0Gb/s.

Thank you for the replies, I didn't know that sata power on the motherboard is meant for this, I've never seen it like that before.
Currently the pc is not set up so the SSD in there has never been initialised as it couldn't get power.

I tried using this cable in the picture, one sata power in to the motherboard, the other sata power in to the ssd but the pc failed to turn on at all.

I also have a cable that has a sata power connection on one end and a male 4 pin molex on the other, unfortunately I dont have any suitable female cables, I'll take a look on ebay for something to connect to a 4 pin male molex.

The SATA connector on your motherboard is male connector, so you need a "female to female" SATA cable to connect your SSD (female connector goes to the SSD too).

This is the SATA power cable you need.

This cable is 4-pin Molex to 2 x female SATA, you can't use it to get SATA power.

Looks like they are just as hard to find too

Ah that's a shame, it doesn't exist on the UK Amazon, thanks anyway

Finally got it working.
I had a sata power cable to male 4pin molex.
I then found this female to female adapter and it finally arrived:
"DeLOCK 65045 4-pin Molex 4-Pin Molex Black cable interface/gender adapter"
https://www.grooves-inc.co.uk/delock-adapter-molex-delock-adapter-cable-pZZa1-2097716445.html
Then I put a sata power splitter in to it.

It seems that you use more cables than necessary, but as long as it works, it's ok.
