Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable - 18 Inches

very fragile and the wires are easy to get loose and get out of the port

I built a diy NAS using some PCIe HBA to support 18x disks. The only thing missing was a PSU with that many SATA power connectors. This adapter comes to the rescue. Each supports 3 new drives (4 outputs from 1 input). Try to organize them as a tree rather than a long chain - the sata power connectors themselves are rated to a lower power than the cables, so you don't want to have everything go through the first connector.

I purchased two of these Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable - 18 Inches, for use in a 16-drive server I was having issue with. The cables were only used for testing, and served that purpose perfectly. I avoided other brands of cables based on the bad and mixed reviews. I didn't want to hassle with potentially bad cables, as I was already hassling with potentially bad drives, so I paid a little more and don't regret doing so.

Works as advertised. Absolutely love how easy this makes it to setup multiple HDDs. Great quality, well made.

These are designed to start from the top and run downwards. I needed something that starts at the bottom and runs upwards, but I was unable to find any that did that at this price point. The experiment was to remove the connectors, flip, rotate, and reconnect them so that it could run from the bottom upwards. It worked like a charm (assuming charms work). 5 stars for how easy it is to change the orientation of the connectors.
