Posted August 30, 2016 hello, I need to power 5 boards with 1 molex each, and each board powers two SATA drives. So i was thinking of just buying a splitter with 6 times molex and cut the last one of as i only need 5, but im not sure if it is a great idea to run 10 drives of a single cable.. (heat) how many drives do you think i can run on a single cable?, i would like to get as few cables as possible ofc The disks are mixed in brands and sizes (9 HDD and 1 SSD) My PSU have 4 x 6pin to molex, so i can run up to 4 cables and the 12V rail has 36A/432W bonus question where to get good and long 6 pin to molex cables from?

Posted August 30, 2016 sata does not provide power.. Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017) Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 138 is a good number.
