Creating a SATA power connector in a R520

I need to provide power to a SS3 USB card.  It has a SATA power connector.  How can I create a SATA power connector for my card in this server?  Is there such a thing as a PCI-E or -X SATA power supply card?  USB 2.0 backups are too slow.  Any other options?  Add-on cards?

Hello.

R520 and other Dell 12 Gen servers do not support USB 3.0 and I can not for sure advise on the accompanying power connectors.

USB 2.0 backups are too slow.  Any other options?  Add-on cards?

The other option could be to connection to an external storage device like MD1200 using the HBA card
