Will my 8900 power supply handle three 3.5" HDD?

I just got an xps 8900 with 16GB and 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 Graphics.  It cam with one 1TB HDD.

I would like to add the two 1TB drives from my old PC.  Will the stock power supply handle that?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks,

It has slots for three HDDs: Scary if it didn't have the power to drive them :emotion-2:

A higher-end video card might be quite another matter.

I have 4 hard drives in mine and it's fine.  They run a bit warm but I'm waiting for a mount to put one in the optical bay which should help.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much flexibility in adding another fan.
