Question:

PC Power supply comes with 1 SATA power cable . What to do~?

I have a SATA DVD burner SATA 160GB HD .... but the PSU only comes with ONE SATA power connector .... great ..I was thinking about buying a SATA host controller card ... but I found out that that will only give me more SATA ports and take up one of my PCI slots LOLThen I was thinking about returning my SATA DVD burner for an IDE DVD burner ...

Answer:

What the sata connector/converter does is the same as the molex plug does on a ATA device, it just allows you to use the molex plugs as your power source for the SATA devices. Your devices should have a 4 pin connector for the molex so you really don't need the converter plug, as either way you only use one power plug. Don't use both (serial power connection 4 pin molex on one device) and there should be a warning label on the device that says the same.
confident you go with as many SATA cables as complicated drives. potential for the HDDR's comes from the potential supply. confident you diskpersistent demands potential from the potential supply. i think of for the GFX card you're taking some 6 pin PCIe connector returned potential supply.
