    I'm trying power a number of 2.5" hard drives .

    At one end I have a Silverstone ST85F-PT.
    At the other I have 8 x 2.5" sata drives fitted in 4 x 3.5 caddies.

    The 2.5" drives are effectively recessed so multi sata cables where the daisy chain is from left to right instead of in from the top basically wont fit.

    I've tried a number of approaches with various degrees of success, but all are a bit 'meh',
    e.g.:
    2 x Silverstone CP06-E4 SATA Power Adapter Cable - too rigid cables work loose)
    4 * Akasa AK-CBPW05-30 SATA Power Splitter - bulky - some cables work loose)

    They are fine cables, but they just don't work for me in this situation.

    I've (finally) found something that might work better:

    Phobya Multi SATA power cable (4x)


    This has a molex at one end and I still have to deal with the rather long power supply cable.

    1) Has anyone seen a similar cable with a sata connector instead of the molex?

    2) Ideally I'd want one with the correct power supply connector, then I could avoid the messiness - Is this something I could get made or would it be sensible to try and make one myself?

    Best Regards

    Interesting, I can't edit the title so it will have to remain cabale instead of cable.
