I have a 4U server chassis that's currently running 4 HDDs and a 500W PSU with 4 SATA connectors. I want to add some HDDs I have and came across these Silverstone CP06 adapters that convert one SATA cable into 4 so I can power 8 HDDs in the case. Does anyone have any experience doing anything similar? Is there another way I can power all of these drives without replacing the power supply? Thanks in advance ☺

I've personally not had any experience with it, but the 148 ratings and 77 reviews on Amazon speak for it:

You'd need molex connectors to power up the HDDs.
