 ## The Molex Nightmare
 
-Seasonic only includes **one** 6-pin to 4-pin Molex cable, and I needed four. Worse, the backplane is powered entirely via Molex, the same old 4-pin IDE-style connectors that IDE drive used (which no one has by the way). I wonder why they have no switched SATA power. It’s more available,and the cables are far more for the tight spacing underneath the HL15's backplane.  I'm assuming it's just a design that dates back to when it was first designed and since they designed the backplane they can also design any cables they want.

 - **Noctua**, despite collaborating on the PSU, had no cable leads (pun intended).
 - **[CableMod](https://cablemod.com/)** couldn’t offer right-angle Molex ends that would clear the space under the backplane.
-- **[ModDIY](https://www.moddiy.com/)** *could* make custom right-angle Molex cables but at ~$30 each after customizing the length.

I needed 8 cables (2 servers), which would run nearly **$300** with shipping. Not the end of the world, but I wanted to shop around before shelling out this kind of money for cables.
 
 I then contact **45Drives** directly since they made the original cables for Corsair PSUs, I hoped they’d offer ones for Seasonic too. I thought they might be interested since they have partnered with Noctua on fans and might sell this PSU at some point. Unfortunately they could not make them. They suggested I contact CableMod, which I already did, so the cable hunt continues.
 
 At this point I was running [SATA-to-Molex adapters](https://amzn.to/3Yo2UTr) (affiliate link) as a temporary workaround, creating a rat's nest of cables.

 1. **Always test your modular cables.** Even if they look the same, they aren’t.
 2. **Power supplies should use standardized modular connectors—or none at all.** This halfway point of using identical-looking connectors with proprietary pin-outs is a recipe for disaster.  I feel like it's in everyone's best interest for power supply makers to standardize this.
