Hello,
I have a Antec IPA450 450W Power Supply, powering 3 storage devices and one optical drive. This PSU only has 3 SATA power connectors, so I've been using a Y splitter (1-to-2) to power my 2 HDDs.
Now I'm hoping to add another HDD to my system and wondering if it's safe to use a Y splitter (1-to-2) to power SSD and the new HDD using it.
I'm already using a Y splitter with my HDDs and has no problem with it - but here I'm concerned about the SSD and it being the system drive.
Is it safe to connect my SSD to a Y splitter despite it's missing 3.3v wire?
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
HDDs: Clover 1TB + WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Please let me know if you need further information.
Thanks in advance
