So 'back-adaptering' from SATA-to-Molex-to-Fan or sodomizing a spare 12V-CPU 4-Pin from the PSU may be an option. Also voltage fluctuations or drops will not matter that much to them. This means your HDDs would not be on an adapter at all, so this would be the most reliable solution.įans often only use 12 Volts and less power than a HDD. If you find a different solution for your fans, you could get another PSU->4xSATA cable, so 8xSATA but no Molex. |-Parts/c/Cor_Products_Accessories_Parts?q=%3Afeatured%3AproductCategories%3ACor_Products_Accessories_Parts_PCComponents_PowerSupplies%3AaccessoryType%3ASerial%2BATA%2B%28SATA%29%2Bcable&text=&pageSize=12#rotatingText

The Cable run may be more akward.Ĭorsair it self only offers Cables with 4 SATA connections it seems (like supplied). 🔥 ) SSDs and 2,5' demand much less power.Īdaptering from Molex would be somewhat safer and distributes the load better. (4xSATA and 3xMolex)Īssuming you are using 3,5' HDDs then the general rule of thumb is that a SATA plug can power two drives, Molex can power four. It is modular with two sockets for 'peripheral & SATA'.
