Adding Cable to Semi-Modular PowerSupply

RAM555789

So I've gotten a 4th drive and need to get sata power to it and currently have the Sentey MBP. 

Sentey :: MBP 850 Watts MBP850-HM

I've looked around for a connector and the only decent one I've found I could get in a reasonable amount of time was made for Evga power supplies.

I'm worried about the warnings of combability and really don't want to burn out my PSU, Cable, or hard drive. I've searched around for more info on the Sentey to see if its connectors match up to no avail. Does anyone know if they are compatible or a site where I might be able to find more connectors like this? The other thing I don't know is if I can just get a sata splitter and hook up female to male and get more ports, or if the cable won't be able to support 4 drives at that point.

I would suggest AGAINST using a different modular cable from another power supply. Using a splitter should be fine for a single additional drive, since the tolorences for current should be fine for 1 more drive, so I would suggest getting the splitter.
