Cosair CX500M help me please

[DonkeyRyder]

I have a CX500M and I was wondering if there are enough plugins for two Hard drives. I have a Hard drive already in there but I recently picked up a another. I just want to know if there are enough sata cable plugins available for 2 hard drives and a disk drive.

Well, if you have the PSU, just count the number of SATA connectors it has. That will tell you the very least the PSU is able to support out of the box.

It came with two, so that means it cannot support another?

According to the specs it has 5 sata conections and 4 molex I'm not sure were you get 2 from

The specs (here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050) clearly says it has 5 SATA connections.

Meaning you could use any combination of 5 SATA-powered HDD/SSD/DVD drives

This is a review of your PSU, with photos.

Cable 2 has three SATA power connectors for disk drives and Cable 4 has two more connectors.

The cable you are currently using (whichever one) has at least one additional plug for your new disk drive, but the cable may need to be rerouted to use the plug. If this is so and there is room, use the other SATA power cable.
