Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin - Review

As a professional reviewer, I had the opportunity to test the Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable and I must say I am impressed with its functionality and cost-effectiveness.

The SATA splitter cable allows the powering of up to four Serial ATA hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, DVD burners, and PCI-E cards from a single connection to computer power supplies. The snug-fitting drive SATA power cable clicks into place on your power supply to provide a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnection.

This upgrade cost-saver is an excellent option as it spares the expense of upgrading an existing power supply to connect new SATA drives. The cost-effective 2-pack provides a spare power cable for new installations or repairs, allowing you to keep a spare in your IT toolkit or at the test bench.

DIY or pro installers both appreciate the convenience of sharing a PSU connection when installing new internal components like a DVD burner. The 18-inch cable harness has 4 SATA drive receptacles spaced at 4.5-inch intervals, providing enough length for internal cable management to minimize airflow impact in most configurations.

The HDD power cables have 4-SATA 15 pin female receptacles and 1-SATA 15 pin male plug at one end, constructed with flexible 18 AWG conductors for reliable performance when connecting four SATA hard drives to a power supply. It supports 3.3V, 5V, and 12V power voltages between SATA I, II, III drives, and power supply connections without any degradation of performance.

The Cable Matters 2-pack SATA splitter cable is universally compatible with computer power supplies with SATA connectors and popular SATA equipped devices such as the Apricorn Velocity Solo x2 Extreme Performance SSD Upgrade Kit, 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive, Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive, Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card, Inateck Superspeed 7 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card, Inateck Superspeed 4 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card.

With 855 reviews and an impressive average customer rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, it is clear that the Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable is a favorite among its users. Many of the customers have stated that the product exceeded their expectations with its excellent quality, sleek design, and affordability.

One of the reviewers stated, “These cables are excellent and work perfectly. I have a bunch of random hard drives hooked up for backups, and this allows me to install four of them in a single bay – perfect for an IT guy. The cables are long enough to route through the back of the case and have enough slack to be useful."

Another reviewer said, “These work great. The connectors are clean, with no flashing or plastics sticking out. They are sturdy, well-crafted, and overall great quality products. They work perfectly for my needs and make my computer setup easier."

In conclusion, the Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable is a must-have for any computer enthusiast or IT professional. Its sleek design, affordability, and ease of installation make it a cost-effective choice for powering multiple SATA drives. Its compatibility with most computer power supplies and popular SATA-equipped devices make it a versatile option.
