I have an OCZ 750watt PSU in a cooler master cube. the cube has 2 external 5.25 bays that are used for 4 slim line slot load optical devices. it also has 4 internal 2.5 bays being used by 4 120gb Samsung ssd's (raid10 -striped/mirror).

The 2 hotswap bays are not part of this issue.

I would like to get some cable management done by removing the existing power cables that use multiple power Y-cables in favor of 2 sata power cables each with 4 sata power connectors.

the PSU has some sort of proprietary 5 pin that I can't find anywhere with the number of power connectors that would resolve my issue.

its modular, and I apologize for unnecessary details, and the lack of needed information!
the OCZ power supply has a 5 pin adapter at the PSU, and the only cables I can find have 3 sata connectors. if I can find the 5pin cables with 4 sata adapters, I can eliminate some Y cables.

They may have only 3 connectors for power draw issues, OCZ may not want more drives off one connection for stability reasons. I don't remember exactly how many STATA power connectors I have seen on one cable, but 3 sounds right, I can't say if I have seen any with more than that.

i just had a look at some spare modular cables i had laying around for my 1000w corsair hx unit and there are only two sata connectors on it. now that i think about it i dont think i've ever seen more than 3 connectors on one cable. at least with any psu i've dealt with.
