PSU 12v extension to external HDDs

[Azevedo]

Hello

I have this 4 external 3.5 HDDs using 4 external 12v power adapters.
I'm willing to avoid using those 4 adapters and use the power supply from the PSU.
The PSU is the Corsair CX 600:

I'm trying to assembly an extensiton from the PSU 12v Molex:

to the outside (throughout the case rear):

It already works using 1 molex --> 1 P4 plug.
My question is:
Can I use 1 molex to distribute the 12v to 4 HDDs using the splitter:

• 
  1 molex --> 1x P4 plug spliter (4x P4).

OR should I assemble them idependently?

• 
  1x molex --> 1x P4 plug
  1x molex --> 1x P4 plug
  1x molex --> 1x P4 plug
  1x molex --> 1x P4 plug

I'm willing to avoid using 4x molex so it won't mess inside the case.

how about just using a panel mount 4-pin molex to get outside....or a card slot mount....something like these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X4pin+molex+panel&_nkw=4pin+molex+panel&_sacat=0

HDD take little current so I can't see any problem using the splitter.

I thought of that but the HDD case plug for power is P4, not molex.

Thanks! I'll use the splitter then!
