September 1, 201015 yr ok. This probably has an obvious answer but I'm new to the many drives per case. I have the CoolMaster GX-750W PSU (yes, overkill but got it from a friend for same price as the Corsair 430W). http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6643 It has 3x Molex and 9x SATA power I also have a SuperMicro 5in3 CSE-M35T-1 which need 2 Molex. So my question is: How would I power additional CSE-M35T-1 5in3s? Are there cables that convert SATA to Molex? Would that be the route to take? Or are there power splitters that make 1 molex into 2? And would that provide enough power? Have no clue.
