Anyone knows any decent PSU with 12+ sata connectors? No, I can't use sata power splitters because some of my drives are finicky with the voltage drop from splitting power and will stop functioning.

Hey, I think that's the PSU I use!
Why not go for a modular PSU, like https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O/, which has 6 SATA ports.
Also, the line is going to be "split" at some point, no matter what. There just isn't physical space on the PSU, otherwise. If there's a voltage drop due to splitting, it's probably not due to the split itself (unless you have over 4 devices connected to a single cable, maybe), but simply a symptom of an underpowered PSU in general.

>the voltage drop from splitting power
You don't know how electricity works.
Fuck off.
>>56174952
nvm, the one I linked only has 3 SATA ports. Should still be plenty for 12 connectors, though, depending on the power draw of the things you connect.
>>56174897
You do realize that the string of SATA power connectors on a PSU is identical to a power splitter?
They're all daisy-chained together and even the separate cables are still connected to the same 12v rail.
>>56174897
>the voltage drop from splitting power
Sounds more like a shitty power supply than a sp-litter problem.

>I dont know what a rail is on a power supply
>I think a bunch of sata connectors on a single wire are different than a Y cable
>I dont know how backplanes work
And OP proved he was a retard yet again
you can't use a molex to sata splitter on drives that require 5v. The label on the drive will tell you about voltage.
I think that is what you mean when you complain about splitters.
>>56175322
wait, i meant 3.3v

It's the voltage drop caused by extending wires.
>>56175104
That may be it.
>>56175390
>It's the voltage drop caused by extending wires.
You won't get much voltage drop from extended wires unless the wires are dog shit quality, aka adding far too much resistance.
>>56175390
>I dont know how much resistance 3" of wire has
stay retarded anon
Yet to have an issue with these.
sata and molex provides the same power. just get a molex to sata adapter.
>>56175473
OP's problem is that he doesnt understand what a power rail or inrush current is, not the splitter.

You're that cunt arnt you. The one that goes around the internet regurgitating the bullshit you heard off guy X who had blah done, which in reality he got fucked over with due being susceptible to industry jargon.
You're that cunt that recommends something you've never owned, just because Linus I just googled that 5 mins ago recommended it.
You're that cunt with a 3k gayming laptop for minecraft on the go.
You're that cunt.

pic related.
your welcome.
>>56175501
I can actually measure voltage drop over USB cables of different lengths. You're the one who's regurgitating numbers and read shit on the internet.
>>56175539
>i can splice a cable and identify the 60hz voltage drop using a multimeter
>i can't google which psu have 12 power connectors
>>56175539
lets see your multimeter faget
>>56175539
So what you're saying is the plugs nearest to the PSU are over volted in order to be correct at the end of a 60cm span.
>>56175569
It doesn't need splicing you dumb ass. Just get a USB voltmeter.
I don't need to google because I have /g/.
>>56175605
It could be because I bought shitty chink power splitters with high resistance but that's beside the point. I don't want to use adapters.
>>56175616
So you dont have a multimeter? Is that correct?
>>56174897
My seasonic X-650 came with two 4-way SATA cables and an extra few 2-way ones (iirc)
Should serve your needs plenty
>>56175676
Fuck you, I don't need one.
>>56175681
Thanks, anon. I guess 10 is enough.
>>56175733
So how the fuck did you measure this voltage drop from the Y cable if you dont have a multimeter?
I'm willing to bet my Fluke and set of probes cost as much your shitbox PC.
>>56175733
Still no response... let me guess you never actually measured this voltage drop you've been bullshiting us all about.
>>56175644
>I don't want to pursue a technically viable solution because "I don't want to"
>>56175733
>also 4-way cables aren't 'splitters'
Is this the kind of mongloid that browses /g/ these days?

The same kind who can't be bothered to get a multimeter and a set of back probes.
