Will a 6+7 to 15+7 sata power adapter provide enough power to a 120gb ssd?

[stx123]

So I'm trying to add a second storage to my laptop using a hard drive caddy that has a 6+7 pin (I think it's called slimline sata power or micro sata) just like my optical drive, & on the other end it has the regular 15+7 pins where I can plug any regular 2.5 inch hdd/ssd. Is it safe to use this adapter? Going from 6 pins to 15 pins, will it provide enough power or will the pins overload ?? Or is ssd power consumption very low like an optical drive?

here is a picture

Thanks

The 6-pin SlimLine power connector provides 2 pins for +5V and 2 pins for Ground.

What is the power rating of your existing optical drive? Compare that against a typical 2.5" SSD.

FYI, the actual slimline connectors are rated for 1.5A per contact.

Are you able to extract anything from these numbers? I am not sure how to calculate watts into amps and +5v/+12v and what not. so um 5+5 is 10v?

0.640w idle

This is the power consumption of the ssd I have according to a review. Id have to take my optical drive out again at maybe this weekend & look around. Thanks for the input!
