My very favourite thing to do is "modify" old servers. This is an Acer R360 F2 (basically an Intel R2200GZ with a S2600GZ mobo). The case doesn't have a slot for a slimline ODD, where I would usually put a boot sata drive in a caddy. Also this server didn't come with a power cable for any sata drives even though it has two sata ports. Anyway the pic shows a 100GB sata ssd boot drive resting on the (I guess) raid battery plinth. The reason for this post is to document, although I can't believe anyone else would ever need to do this, that a Corsair (type5) Micro-Fit 3.0 to sata power lead works as a replacement. You do have to SWAP THE PINS on the sata end but it is very easy to do. The Corsair lead cost me £9.95 on Amazon.
12V 5V Top right is pin one (This is looking down on the mobo)
3.3V 5V

The second 5V (pin 2) isn't connected on the Corsair Micro-Fit 3.0, but that doesn't matter as you only need five connections on the sata connector. I can't tell you the pins you need to swap as all I did was plug it in turn on the server and buzz out the pins, then swapped them to where they should be on the sata end and Bob's your Uncle.
