A lot of hard disk docking stations use these kind of power supplies.
A PCI Express, Version 1 high-end video card using PCIe x16 slots.
A graphics card often requires extra power and connects via a 12V 6-pin power connector to support its higher power demands. You can typically find this connector on the graphics card itself and on the power supply unit (PSU) of the computer, where it provides additional power necessary for optimal performance.
A graphics card often requires extra power and uses the 12V 6-pin power connector to ensure it receives sufficient energy for optimal performance, especially in high-demand gaming or computational tasks. You might find this connector on the graphics card itself and also on the power supply unit (PSU) of a computer, where it connects to the PSU's output cables.

A six in or in some cases, eight pin, power connection are used by various video cards which are almost universally PCI Express cards. These are needed to supply power when the card's require more then 75 watt power provided by the PCI Express slot itself. These are the six pin and eight pin 12v connections.

Generally speaking, you would need either the one that came with the device, or a "universal" one with interchangeable tips, though adapters with similar characteristics should also work. There are four main factors that limit the range of adapters you can use with a particular device: 1. Voltage 2. Tip / connector polarity 3. Tip / connector size 4. Amperage Obviously, you can't use an adapter that only supplies 3.3v for a device that draws 12v, and using a 12v adapter for a 3.3v device would likely damage it. The connector polarity (which side is positive or negative) is important to many devices, and the device will not operate and may even break if they are reversed. The size of the connector varies by device, usually with larger devices having larger connectors. Finally, the amperage of the device is important, especially if it draws a lot of power. If the amperage is too low, the device will not be able to draw enough power. Having a higher than needed amperage is not harmful, though.
The power connector that provides power to a floppy disk drive (FDD) is typically a 4-pin Molex connector. This connector supplies both 5V and 12V power to the drive, with the 5V line powering the electronics of the FDD and the 12V line used for the motor that spins the floppy disk. In some modern systems, especially those using SATA, a SATA power connector may also be used with appropriate adapters.
