I'm building a Plex server using parts from an old setup, but I accidentally tossed the box from my EVGA Supernova 650 GT power supply during a move. I need to get at least one 6-pin to SATA connector, but I can't find any compatibility info online. While I know I could order a cable from Cablemod, I'm trying to avoid the long wait and high price, which could be up to $50. I found a cable on Amazon that lists compatibility with the Supernova line, but it doesn't mention the GT specifically. I was hoping for some tips on where to find a replacement cable that won't take forever to arrive.

SATA 6-pin cables are pretty forgiving in terms of compatibility, so pretty much any long enough one will do the job. I may even have some leftover cables from my Supernova; let me check my stash!
Don't stress too much about Cablemod; their cables are just as compatible as other brands. If they're marking other EVGA cables as compatible with E-series, then the Amazon cable you found should work just fine. Just ensure that it’s not one of those specialized cables like 12vhpwr, which can be iffy.
You might find some useful info in the EVGA compatibility guide. It outlines various cables, but I noticed the GT isn't listed, which is a bit frustrating. Still, it can't hurt to check it out!
Yeah, I checked too, and it's a bummer the GT isn't on the list. But at least it gives some insight on compatibility!
That would be awesome! I’m just a little concerned about the pinout since different brands sometimes vary. Getting the right pin configuration is key.
