Printable 4-pin male FDD power plug

I recently purchased an HP Proliant Microserver Gen 10 with plans to configure it with a boot SSD and multiple HDDs. However, I soon realized that the SSD required a specific power cable - the FDD-SATA connector, which resembles an old floppy drive plug. Not having this cable on hand, I opted against ordering one and waiting for its arrival. Instead, I decided to utilize my 3D printer to create a custom solution. After designing the adapter, it was printed with satisfactory results. To assemble it, I disconnected the SATA power connector from an old PC's remains and scavenged four metal pins from a spare connector. These pins were then soldered to the cables. Once the pins were securely attached, they were inserted into the connector from the rear side, allowing me to pull them out on the front where they snugly fit if they protrude sufficiently. The soldered wires prevented the pins from being removed, while the back wall ensured they couldn't be pushed in. I'm sharing this information in case someone else encounters a similar situation, although it's likely an uncommon issue.
