Bought this and now SATA power connector is not enough long to reach the card. Can anyone suggest me from where can I get SATA Power Connector Extension online?
p.s. - I tried searching it in local shops.

Why do you need a SATA power connector for this?

The power provided by your computer’s PCI Express slot is insufficient to power USB
3.0 devices. Please ensure that the 4-pin or 15-pin power connector is connected to your
PC power supply before connecting any devices

Well, they may be a bid hard to find, but you can alternatively use a molex to sata converter.

Molex to sata converter is your best buy, however, if I find it online, I will notify you :)

I'm looking for the extension cable and then only i can review but what i can suggest you is it's an awesome deal at such price (Rs. 870) and that too it's transcend. So, just go for it instead of the expansion card you mentioned above.

If you still don't find it, then you can build one yourself.
