The StarTech.com SATA Power Y Splitter Cable (PYO2SATA) is designed for PC builders and IT professionals who need to expand their storage capacity without upgrading their existing power supply unit (PSU). By splitting a single SATA power connection into two, it allows for the easy addition of extra SATA drives to a system. While it is an efficient and cost-effective solution for power distribution, users must ensure their power supply has sufficient total wattage to support the additional hardware being connected.

No, this is a passive splitter. It simply divides the existing power from one connector into two ports.
It is suitable for most standard SATA hard drives and SSDs, but ensure the total power draw of both drives remains within the specifications of your power supply.
No, this cable is specifically designed for 15-pin SATA power connectors.
This product is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty.
The cable length is approximately 0.15 meters (6 inches).
Ensure both ends of the splitter are securely seated. Verify the SATA data cable is also connected to the motherboard.
This often indicates the power supply's rail is overloaded. Disconnect one of the drives to see if stability returns and consider a higher-wattage PSU.
Installation is straightforward: ensure the system is powered off, locate a vacant 15-pin SATA power connector from your power supply, and plug it into the male end of the splitter. Connect the two female ports to your storage devices. Before use, verify that your drive configuration does not exceed the power output limit of your specific PSU rail. Store the cable away from sharp edges inside the chassis to prevent damage. RoHS and CE certified, this cable adheres to strict safety standards for internal hardware use.
