## Description

The SLSATAADAP6 Slimline SATA to SATA adapter features a Slimline Serial ATA connector on one end and a standard SATA data connector (with SATA power connector) on the other, enabling you to connect a Slimline SATA optical drive to standard motherboard and power supply connections. The slim SATA adapter offers 6-inches in cable length, which compared to standard (non-cable) SATA/Slimline SATA adapter reduces strain off the drive connector and allows for flexible cable routing when positioning the Slimline SATA drive within the system case. Designed and constructed to provide a dependable Slimline SATA to SATA connection, this high quality cable is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty.

Review: Excellent option for custom builds/upgrades. - Had to replace OEM power supply on a mission critical machine. Client still uses the optical drive, and since it is a laptop form factor dvd drive in a desktop, standard SATA power cables weren't an option. Worked perfectly, though I did need to also replace the SATA data cable as it was now way too long and close to the front fan. In my case replacing the stock 18" data cable with a 12" one was enough.
Review: Perfect fit. Works just like it should. Good Quality. - Exactly what I needed to connect a slimline DVD burner from a Lenovo laptop into a micro desktop PC. Ends and connector pins all look to be good quality and the cables are heavy duty enough for use inside a desktop. The DVD end (small end) fit the DVD player perfectly and the large end was the same as you would expect to find on a Sata HDD so standard motherboard Sata cable and sata power cables clipped right in place. Be sure to check the DVD player's connection port on the back before ordering a sata to sata cable because there are 3 different configurations I have found among laptop slimline DVD players. This inexpensive converter cable saved me about $40 over having to buy a new slimline DVD burner with standard desktop PC sata connections on the back.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What about using laptop hard in desktop computer with this?**
A: Laptop HDDs use the same SATA connections as a Desktop HDD.  So no converter cables is needed.  I have two desktop PC's using laptop HDD's in them now and no converter cable is needed.  Same connections on a 2.5" HDD as a 3.5" HDD.

**Q: I have a dell system that has slim sata power cable. however my ssd (samsung 870) does not support slimsata power. can i use this + sata data for ssd?**
A: From your question, you have a slim power connector and a regular data connector. If that's the case, you would need a sata power adapter, something like: B07FK5G2TF. But technically, this one should work.

**Q: Can I use this cable to connect a desktop blu-ray drive to a laptop?**
A: No, the SLSATAADAP6 connects an internal Slimline SATA optical drive to standard internal motherboard and power supply connections on a desktop computer or server.

**Q: Can you use this adapter to replace your disk drive on your pc with a ssd?**
A: If you are talking about Optical Disc drive: No, you likely need something that works in the opposite direction. Slim SATA (M) to SATA (F). See your PC manufacturer's service manual for what connection your PC disk drive has.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, good price
*by A***R on May 22, 2015*

I got this to install a slim optical drive in my HTPC. It lets me use standard SATA/power cables. With this adapter, I was able to install the optical drive and a card reader/USB hub in the case's 5.25" slot using a combo mounting kit. The adapter pigtail is well made and reasonably priced. If you have a small case you might want to use a more compact version, but for my case this was perfect. Note: check before you buy that this will work with your optical drive. Compare the photos on the product page to your optical drive's connector. Some manufacturers use proprietary connectors and this one is designed for standard SATA type connectors.
