Molex Connector into multiple Hard Disks

[Lord Ruffy]

I have a HDD and an SDD. Can I plug them both in using the same molex connector from the PSU? Is this wise?
Thanks for the help

Use the sata power connectors from your psu. If your psu don't have them, its time to get a new psu.

Hi - Yes, you can do that. You need an adapter, similar to this;

Have you checked your PSU, it is unusual for a PSU to hava only one Molex (aka peripheral) connector?
