I need to extend the length of a SATA HD wire and power connector for a 2nd HD and there's a MicroCenter near me. I'm not familiar with the term "Micro Connectors." Is this a standard power connector? (I know what the Molex is, but I don't need it.)

Hello RoWin7,

This cable converts a slimline SATA (SATA 2.6) connector into a standard SATA connector.

I don't think it is the right one, unless you are using a notebook drive. A straight SATA to SATA connector would be called something similar to a 7+15 pin data power combo extension cable. For example this one, which has both male and female SATA wafer connectors: 7+15 pin data power combo extension cable | Newegg

Your post could be taken two ways. Extend PSU Wires implies you ONLY want to extend sata POWER. But then you said "extend the length of a SATA HD wire and power connector" and the word Wire there could be taken that you want to extend both data and power. I'm assuming your post title says it all, that is, you only want to extend power. If that is the case, you just want a "sata power extension"

I had meant both, but I looked again, and the HD cable is long enough, need to extend only the power cable. That's the right one, thanks.
