I needed a power adapter to transfer from an LP4 female connector to the back of a new SATA hard drive. Yes, it *is* 6'' long so be sure you don't need more length than that before you commit to buy. It seems like such an effort to get this feather-light item shipped to me to finish the job of installing my SATA 1TB drive, since getting it at a local store would have been much quicker and involve less "energy", it would seem. This was exactly what I needed - I was happy when I opened the package and saw the male LP4 plug, just like the picture showed. I would recommend it, but then again if it "fits" your need, then it would seem there's really nothing much that could go wrong. However, I honestly don't know of any store (mom and pop OR big box like Best Buy) that would supply such a cable. I was a little leery from the description wondering whether it would be exactly what I needed.
This is the SATA data cables connection point to your motherboard. Enjoy your new drive that you so obviously needed this for.Data cables and Power cables break so rarely that it is unheard of. This one here is a testimonial to the quality you should expect from said cables.Things to look for in your tower if you plan to hook up a SATA drive:#1 There should be a 1" long by 1" high prong on your motherboard that looks so slightly like an L shape that you well barely notice it has such a shape. This is just what you need to hook up that SATA drive to your motherboard(that square looking thing in the tower you bought).To do so make sure you full shutdown the computer and unplug it. #2 There should also be a (OOOO) shaped connector on the end of a cable attached to your power source(the big block of metal at the back of the computer that the power cord attaches too).If you can find these 2 things(or someone you know that is good at such things can) then you can connect an SATA drive to your computer. Then plug in the SATA data(signal) cable into the only slots it will go to(same thing here , it won't hook up anywhere or way then what it is supposed to). Then plug this SATA power cable into the only slots it will go to(trust me nothing else in your computer is going to hook into this thing then what is supposed to). After you have done this , close the case and power up your computer.
Price was about what I expected. Works just as I expected. Amazon product description is accurate and picture was most helpful in determining that this was the product I needed.
Gives one Serial ATA power connector for one standard power connector. The product works as promised, I've had it for about a month and no problems to report.
it would have been better if it would have given a one to two connection coversion. This item is ok.
