I want to add a rear dual 2.5" adapter to my supermicro SC216 chassis which needs a molex power connector. Theres no free molex connectors on my loom but there are two 4 pin connectors which I think are a EPS12V 8pin(4+4) connector - is it possible to use this to power the 2.5" backplane?
Any links to reliable converters would be appreciated. thanks in adv.

Would it work to use a molex splitter that would split a 4 pin molex into two? Maybe something like this? Amazon.com: C2G / Cables To Go 03166 One 5.25 Inch to Two 5.25 Inch Internal Power Y-Cable, Multi-Color (6 Inch): Electronics

On chassis of mine with the rear 2.5" out the back... molex splitter! Some of my SM chassis even came with them.
