Molex to Sata Adapter?

Ok guys I am finalizing my build and have already ordered most of my parts and I have a question about this LG DVD burner:

I have not received the burner yet and I cannot really tell from the pictures on the newegg site...What power connector does it have? Is it a molex or SATA?

I know it is a SATA drive for data, but unsure of the power. Sorry for such a newb question, but this is my first build. I do realize that I could just run a molex power cable from my PS, but getting an adapter will allow me to use one less power cable (since my PS is a Corsair AX650 which is modular) and a cleaner install.

Finally, if I need an adapter would this be the correct one:

Thanks.

Yeah I have never seen a stat data molex power DVD drive. There are only a few HDD models that have that combination.

Right on! Here is a good example - a 2006 WDC HDD that has a Molex power port. It is labeled "Legacy Power."
