Is it possible to convert 4-pin floppy to SATA power?

I just bought a server and realized that it had power for all my drive bays, but not for the internal SSD I bought for it. It does, however, have 2 free 4-pin floppy power connectors:

4-pin floppy power connector

Is it possible to convert these to a SATA power connector using an adapter?

I have searched around for a while, and I can find a lot of SATA to 4-pin floppy (the wrong way around), but after a while I found this adapter on ebay:

4-Pin Floppy FDD Male to 15-Pin SATA Female Power Adapter Convertor Cable MX714

Is this legit? Will this work to power an SSD? The feedback on ebay seems overly positive and smells fishy, so I'm not convinced.


I feel weird linking to a product in a Serverfault question, but it was very relevant. If this is against the rules please remove the link
