SATA adapters

[blackrain]

Are all SATA adapters created equally? Why are some $10-15 while others are $2?

Do SATA adapters come with SATA drives?

I am getting a fortron power supply that doesn't have a SATA connector. I may need an adapter one day. I am just wondering what my options will be.

I haven't seen an psu made this year wtih out them. I wonder what the born on date of that psu is.

I think most adapters are created equally.

SATA power adapters do not come with OEM drives. For $2.50 just order a couple with your next online purchase.

Well, finding out if this psu comes with sata was a real pain in the neck. I assumed there was only one version of the fortron 350W aurora series. Apparently I was wrong.

Ultimately, I called dealsonic (the seller) and they said it doesn't come with a sata connector. Who knows...maybe they aren't sure. I guess I will find out for sure when it arrives.
