Take another look at the drive - many SATA drives still have the regular molex connector still on them, it is just behind a little plastic panel that you can remove.  The newest drives no longer have this, but take a look anyway.

  I've cloned a huge partition (500 Gb) using dd, split and gzip into an
external USB drive. Now I need to restore that image into a SATA drive.
I have an universal USB adapter for ATA/SATA, 2.5" and 3.5" drives like 
this:

Unfortunately it seems the SATA power adapter doesn't work. I can't find
any server with internal SATA controllers. It is a long story, but I
don't even have any hot-pluggable case where I could put this drive into
a RAID controller that I have.

Anyway, what I try to find in a local store in the DC or Baltimore area
is this:

I don't want to wait several days to get this from any internet shop.

If you know where I can get this or how I can plug the drive into the
RAID, let me know, please

Thanks,

Miguel
