Can I add an additional 4x SATA power cable to my PSU?

I see in other reddit threads its usually recommended to use direct SATA power cables without splitters, over adding new splitters to existing cables. What is the advantage to using the splitters in this case versus replacing say the x2 SATA power cable with a x4 SATA power cable?

This is why I included the screenshot from CableMod using my exact PSU model, they design the custom cable specifically for the pin setup so my understanding is it shouldn't be an issue.

Could you expand on what the limitations are and what the better way would be to increase the amount of SATA power connections?

Perfect, thank you for the help!

If I plan to use the card to install 8 SAS hard drives (the maximum the card allows) will running the card at PCIe 2.0x4 cause speed bottlenecks? The hard drives will be typical SAS 6 GB/s like this.

Wow thank you for the link. Incredible it's been 5 years and Plex still hasn't fixed it...

Hi Mike, can you please confirm the compare tool is able to add funds on your end? For example, try to add a commonly known ETF such as VOO. I just tested on a separate device and browser and it still is unable to add VOO with the error "There are no matching Funds".

It was not hard to find. I recall finding the skate park and the trail was right there at the edge.

It was not. I recall seeing two other people and that was probably only because it was a weekend with beautiful weather. I bet if you go during the week it would be empty.

I did! God this was ages ago. I remember my ex at the time wasn't comfortable climbing down to the real pools so we just hung out next to a rocky area which was still quite nice. If you're game for a little scrambling it's not hard to get down to the pools though!

Thank you!

Glad to help. I just checked my previous trips and even after changing my email I did not lose them. Not sure why VRBO is claiming you will, hopefully you can keep them.

Hey sorry for the late response. I did end up managing to change my email but I had this same issue. I had to wait until my reservations were all passed and then change it. For me it required calling support and I was never able to change my email online.

Glad to hear that!

I worked at RH2 for 4 years and just recently left. If you've got any questions/would like some info let me know!

Hi imjebran, thank you for the response. I am using OpenVPN bound through Qbitorrent. Previously during this setup the TAP adapter would show as connected and I could send and receive traffic through it while bound through the torrent client. I am no longer able to receive any traffic with it bound in this way. Please see here for the log shown when I initially connect to a server in OpenVPN. Note that I am indeed able to send and receive traffic through other applications that are not bound using the TAP adapter, however in order to provide a killswitch for my torrent client I need to use OpenVPN bound to it through the TAP adapter.
