carefully with these adapters, they have copper cables with smaller φ so they heat up more then aluminium molex-sata adapter or molex splitter

Always believed that copper is better conductor than aluminium...

That is true in general. However, it also depends on the cross-section (gauge) of the cable/conductor.

What slastar meant probably was that these adapters have fairly low gauge wires. I also personally think that the molex HDD connector doesn't make a very good contact so the connector will heat up as well.

It's just your assumption. I'v read his post and didn't found he refer AWG. Given equal cross-section copper is much better so I'd write posts to avoid any misleading.
