HDD and a SSD off the same power cable?

[TrueDragonRider]

Hello.
I am wondering if it will be ok if I hook up my HDD and SSD on the same power cable. I've heard comments that the power cable could get too hot.

Here is what I have:
PSU: Cooler Master 520W RS-520-ASAA-A1
HDD: Seagate 1TB ST1000DM003-1SB102
SSD: Kingston 240GB SUV400S37240G

Thanks!

Hi

You can easily power multiple SATA devices off the same power cable. As you know for data you will need a dedicated cable for each SATA device.

SATA devices are low power (less than 12 watts) devices. That's why you can power multiple devices from the same cable.

That's nice. I'm guessing I can hook up a DVD drive to the same power cable while I am at it.
