Question:

sata power input?

I have a SATA hard drive and a SATA cd drive. Is the power supplied through the SATA cable or do i need seporate power cables

Answer:

there is a sata power cable that u need to plug in, it comes from ur power supply and is a lil different than the normal power cable .
sounds like you need an adapter, it will hook right up to current power supply , there not more then a few dollars
No, there is a separate power cable for SATA devices - the same as PATA devices. Interestingly enough, the SATA cable is 7 pins, and the power cable is 15 pins!
