The system is a small form factor desktop unit with a low wattage power supply (280W Max Output). The adapter allowed me to install a 12.7mm Slimline Blu-Ray Burner and a 2.5" 500 GB Hard Drive which both use less power than the original 5.25" DVD Drive and 3.5" 250 GB Hard Drive that came standard with the machine. With those changes the system is now capable of supporting a nVidia GeForce GT 620 1GB PCI-E Graphics (PEG) Adapter in place of the on-board Intel Graphics Chip and play some of the newer 3D games.To install these drives and increase your surplus power, you will also need to replace the existing 5.25" SATA ODD with a 5.25" Metal Tray for 2.5", 3.5" HDD/Slim DVD*, a Slimline SATA ODD with the adapter shown here, and a 2.5" SATA HDD/SDD.*Other Tray models may also support an additional Slimline ODD or 2.5" or 3.5" HDD/SSD and some are designed specifically for slot loading drives. Beware that the bezel face of your computer system may not allow the proper clearance for certain 5.25" tray designs along with the various load mechanisms of Slimline Optical Disk Drives.NOTE: SATA 2.5" HDD/SSD do not require a SATA adapter for use in SATA compatible desktops. 1.8" SDD use a MicroSATA connector and will require an appropriate adapter for use.With most nVidia GeForce GT/GTX Graphics Cards it is recommend to have a PSU with a Max Output of 400W or at least 300W assuming there are certain other power consuming devices included in the typical base system configuration (i.e. CD-ROM or other Optical Drive, 3.5" SATA/PATA Hard Disk Drive, 1.5V DDR RAM, an Intel or AMD 64-bit Processor(s), an internal Network/WiFi Adapter, and a Sound Board). By using the smaller laptop style drives, the total power consumption can be reduced up to 25-40% (less than 200W); however, there is a catch. Laptop style drives generally have slightly slower access/read speeds and can be more expensive than the desktop style drives. If an AMD Radeon Graphics Adapter is preferred, the recommended Max Output is usually lower than the requirements of comparable nVidia cards. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My mad scientist idea paid off! *by T***T on April 6, 2015* This worked for my crazy Idea, I had a SATA to USB 3.0 cable that came with my Western Digital Dual Drive and a Old Blu Ray Ultra-slim Drive, After numerous enclosures I bought none of them met the speed requirements to reach the transfer rates for Blu-Ray discs to be read properly. My new 2 in 1 didn't have a place for a disc drive what so ever. So I purchased this as a last resort and plugged into the drive and plugged the SATA to USB 3.0 connector my 2 in 1 and low and behold it worked flawlessly, I'm now able to rip my movie and music collection and store it on my NAS. My only complaint is that the slimline sata connector could be a little tighter to prevent it from accidentally unplugging for people on the go. But otherwise it's a fantastic product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets the job done. *by D***I on May 28, 2012* It's too bad most slimline drives do not come with a slimline SATA connector. I used this along side the Sony 8x SATA Internal Slim DVD+/-RW Drive inside of a SilverStone FT03 case. With all my connections made it pushed up against my graphics card, resulting in the adapter bending. I ended up snapping the plastic section covering the SATA connector. The adapter still works and I can easily fix it by super-gluing it back together.Using a Slimline SATA cable probably would have worked best in my situation. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter with Power - F/M (SLSATAADAP),Black - StarTech.com 6in Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter with Power - Slim SATA (F) to SATA (M) - Slimline Serial ATA to SATA (SLSATAADAP6) , Red - Syba 5.25" Bay Adapter for Slim Optical Drive, 2.5" Trayless Rack for Hard Drives HDD SSD, USB Hub - SY-MRA55005 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1840833-startech-com-slimline-sata-to-sata-adapter-with-power-f](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1840833-startech-com-slimline-sata-to-sata-adapter-with-power-f) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
