I just upgraded to a Seasonic x650 and wanted to know if there is any issue with using the sata power cable that has one connector at the psu and 3 sata power connectors for my 3 drives (SSD, HDD and Optical CD drives). Basically what i'm asking is: Is it better to use separate cables from the psu or is one cable with the 3 sata power connectors daisy chained ok? For cabling neatness I used the one cable but wasn't sure if I was overloading one of the rails or anything. Also, is the x650 a single rail unit?
 
Solution
There would be no problem with using just one cable. Power consumption of those drives is quite low, so there would be absolutely no problem.
