Daisy chain 4 Hard Disk using same power sata cable

[ckl_1981]

Hi everyone and a good day, I just install 1 enterprise HGST 1TB, 2 Toshiba 2TB each at 7200 rpm and 1 Westerndigital Green 2tb on a 4 connector sata power cable on the same rail. I did not extend any power cables just using the original provided by Coolermaster. My PSU is a 750w V750 Fully Modular with Gold Certification. Will there be any power issues that will affect my hard disk. Thanks for any help and advise. Good day.

No, you're fine... even an extended power cable would be fine. I have mine as such.

Plug it in and see. If they made the cable capable of 4 connections off a single wire then the supply should do it.

Total 4 mechanical SATA Hard Disk. I seperated the ODD drives to a different rail.

That's what I meant, you're fine... I was just saying that even a daisy chained cable would be fine

you mean i am not daisy chaining it, just using original? Paddy mate how many HDD are u using, just curious....lols

iirc one set of sata cables can usually handle about 150 watts.  being hard drives will for the most part be no more than 10 watts each,  you're probably fine.

Thanks for the advise, the only mod i made on my Ryzen 1500x build is the Hyper T4 Its works cool. Full turbo clock at gaming no lag. 59 celcious max. 31 celcious at idle no oc for me. I love my hardware lols

OK, I'll try again... original power cable 4 ports, to another 4 port cable that's daisy chained will be fine... even with all ports in use, on a decent enough power supply. Even a bog standard PSU should be able to handle that. Total would be under 50W for the 7 drives most likely.

I have used at the moment 4 HDDs on extended SATA power cable, SATA fan controller and SSD on my main rig. On my miner IIRC I have 1x SSD, 3x PCI-e extenders, 1x 6 pin GPU adaptor on the one extended cable.

Paddy I got what u mean i setup a mining rig using 4 gpu on a pci-e riser and no issues. GPU power is more than Hard disk.I daisy chain the pci-e power to the riser.

Yeah, I wouldn't normally have used a GPU adaptor as well as for the risers etc, but the algo I am using is very efficient and the 1060 only pulls ~55Watts total, so it's fine, total draw on that cable is <100Watts. The other 2 GPUs are using normal PCI-e 6 pin power cables from the PSU. My mining rig in total only pulls around 220W max

No offence paddy but is cryptocurrency gpu mining still profitable. I sold my Electroleum when the price hits the highest point. Now I gave up gpu mining due to cost of electricity and drop of prices

Yes, it's not bad... the thing is though, that mining for NOW is not as good as it was, but mining now may see a big benefit in the future. So if you NEED to make even with the mining to afford the electricity, then probably not worth it, but if you can afford to pay for the electricity without cashing in, then it could be very beneficial in the future... it's a gamble in other words. I can easily pay the electricity cost without worrying about it, so I'm just building up my holdings for now in the hope that in a year or 2 the market will recover to it's former glory.

Not Data, The power cable that comes bundle with the Coolermaster V750 with 4 SATA power on the same connector.
