The card came with a couple of adapters for the molexes, the problem is the two open are on a triple connection that's currently using one to power my hard drive.
The video card needs two 75W six-pin connections, so I guess the real question is will a triple molex be able to supply one 75W connection and whatever the hell my hard drive needs? Generally speaking, I know I'm drowning you guys in specifics here.
Oh, found the specs for the drive... it's a Western Digital Caviar Blue, WD5000AAKS

If I'm reading it right, it's going to need about 5.6W on average for its peak use?
