Well, why Digium is still using this kind of power
connector while all new machines does not come with
these types?

Bilal,
I linked a store and product for you in the thread
already. A simple
google search will turn up hundred if not thousands of
suppliers.
Just google "Sata to Molex power" turns up a quarter
million hits.
Find a supplier you like, and purchase.

Thanks,

The new machines that I buy come with "legacy" power connectors. The flash
IDE drives I buy need legacy power connectors, and since convertors are
trivially avalable why is it an issue?

molex power connectors are not "legacy" or "old style" except when used in
reference to SATA devices. Seeing as how Digium interface cards are not SATA
devices, why would you expect them to be using a SATA connector? Its not
Digiums fault that the PSU you bought doesn't include molex connectors.
SATA uses a different power connector for a few reasons, but the biggest is
that SATA supports hot-plugging (assuming your controller, drive, and OS
support it), in order for hot-plug to work the drive needs a 3.3V voltage as
well as 5V and 12V, molex only gives 5V and 12V. The actual physical
connector that molex uses also does not lend itself very well to
hot-plugging.
SATA power connectors, while there is no real reason that non-SATA devices
couldn't use them, they simply were designed for SATA specifically.
Personally, I prefer molex connectors for most things simply because they are
far more secure than SATA connectors (at least the ones i've used).

IME, it doesn't lend itself very well to *cold*-plugging, either.

At this stage, I've only seen one machine that didn't come with the old
style power connectors. SATA power connectors may be a standard, but
they haven't (yet?) supplanted the older power connectors.
In fact, most power supplies I've bought recently have had more molex
style connectors than SATA.
