Power two hard drives from same connector

[andosmaximus]

I recently bought an extra hard drive, only to find i don't have enough power connectors in my case :frown: . I've bought a "y" connector to split one connector off into two, and I wondered if running two drives off the same connector is ok?

I have a Q-Tech 350W dual fan supply, which runs a hard drive, a DVD drive, a CD writer and my cooler... for convenience I would like to run the two hard drives off the same plug (as the PSU ships with four stupidly short connectors :lol: ).

Would this put too much strain on one connector or is this ok?
