I have an internal SSD, three internal HDDs, all using SATA Power ports. My PSU (Corsair RM850x) came with just ONE modular SATA power cable which can power upto 4 devices.
I did get MOLEX to SATA cables which practically killed my optical drive so I just can't risk using any of those. I searched all over amazon.in for any 6-pin to SATA cables, like the modular ones which came with my PSU but couldn't find any. All I found was stuff for mining.
I'm from India, so if anyone can find something that works properly, would be great help.
I need to add another 1TB internal drive, going with another WD Caviar Blue 1TB, I have 2 more SATA ports left on the mobo but no power ones.
Another solution I thought was to use one of those 3.5" HDD Enclosures which power the drive externally but not sure if it'll work. And even in that case, I'll need a PCIe_x1 to USB3.0 Card because all 5 onboard USB3.0 ports are used up by external HDDs I permanently use.

UPDATE: Found some things like these. Too expensive and they say "ships from China" in description.
