Now I have a normal Hard Disk in my PC. Can I add another 2 more hard disks? But when I opened my PC, my power supply only have an extra 1 cable. That means I can only add 1 hard disk.
How do I fix this? Is there a power supply that have more than 1 power cable? Thanks. |

Using Y Cable is not of recommended if your PSU does not have enough Power to support it......
In the end, it may damage your PSU or even worst the hardisk...... So invest a better PSU that gives you enough Power to support 3 hardisks....... |

Buy PSU that have custom cable. So you can add in any cable in future. Not recommend Y cable.

If you have extra 4 pin molex then you could just buy 4 pin molex to sata power convertor.
Dont worry about overloading your psu, hdd doesnt use much power. |

YES, HDD does use little bit power only. No worry of that. Check this
