I don’t have kapton tape or want to cut wires as I don’t have a spare sata power cable. However I do have a molex power cable and a molex to sata 3.3 adapter that came with my Seasonic Focus GX-750 PSU. It only has 4 wires and does not contain a wire for 3.3v power. The sata connector is crimped and not moulded. My shucked WD180EDGZ-11BLDS0 seems to require the 3.3v pin fix.

    I removed the pin from the plug on on the psu side of the cable. There are people who think all converters are potentially dangerous.

      The molex cable doesn’t have the 3.3v pin on the psu side. So I should be ok?
