$20 if you make me a 6' Molex cable. $10 for recommending a better solution.

superboyac,
My question was unanswered & I'll ask again because I'm genuinely curious. Why were you asking about a molex connector extension when you are buying a SATA drive enclosure? The two just don't mix.

The enclosure I bought has an alternative molex connection in the back. It's there for emergencies, I suppose. The normal connection for power is a mini-din plug that attaches to a brick power supply. Since the brick was not enough power, the molex could provide more power when connected directly to my pc's psu. That's why I was looking for a molex.
f0dder:
Pretty lousy quality picture, but that looks like a regular SATA power cable connector rather than the traditional IDE molex...
Innuendo:
Just as I thought. The port's label even says SATA Power. If that were a molex connector it wouldn't be as wide and it would have been taller than the SATA power cable.
I do hope you're happy with your purchase, but if you don't require hot-swap you could have bought a D-Link DNS-323 for about the same price (if you shop sales) and would have gotten a lot more functionality for your money.

Ok...I thought I made it clear. Mine has a molex connector where the picture shows SATA power. I couldn't find an exact picture of it.
I've seen the DNS-323. The only think I didn't like about it was the plastic feel to it and the wobbly way everything connects. And I did want hot swap, very much so.
