Remember, back in the day computers were ALL molex chains. The hard drives, motherboards fans and just about everything was done with molex. They carry plenty of power, the reason they are not used much today is they have big clunky connectors that don't look pretty, and are hard to manage!

In my older Azza case which uses molex chains for the stock fans, I am using one of these cables for my drives. I figured, why have both a sata AND and molex chain hooked to my modular supply?

I doubt you will have an issue, unless the cabling is bad. I bought mine from bitfenix, even though it looks identical to yours.
