Hello everybody! Will this PSU be able to power a hard drive and a optical drive? If not, can I just buy another power connector? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350919606394?ssPageName=STRK:ME...

But it only has 1 SATA connector. Doesn't a HDD and Optical Drive both require their own?

adapters are easy to use . plug the female molex connector to your psu molex connector and the other end is sata so plug it into your drive
