I have a modular PSU (OCZ Fatal1ty 550W 80 PLUS Certified Modular Power Supply) so I want to use as few cables as possible. That said, the way the SATA cables face is upside down of what I need it so I need to flip it over, which uses up too much cable to put my DVD drive and HDD on the same cable. I also have a Molex cable coming from my PSU to power a couple fans.
So, what I was thinking, is that I have two Molex to SATA power adapters so I could just use the one Molex cable from my PSU to power my fans, DVD drive, and HDD and completely remove the two SATA power cables. That would make cable management much easier.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't do that? I just don't know if it is somehow worse or less stable when using the Molex to SATA adapter. Thanks for any replies!
